Tell Me More...
A wonderfully independent flower for trouble-free displays from June to October. Not only are scabious a cottage garden favourite – these unusually coloured varieties will fit well into modern planting schemes too. Flowers offer a rich source of nectar and are loved by pollinators – particularly bees and butterflies – who will add their animated beauty to your borders, pots and wildflower gardens when they visit. The strong, slender flower stems also make this trio perfect for a vase or bouquet where there contrasting colours will add eye-catching style. This exciting new collection is made up of ‘Fata Morgana’ with unusual, creamy yellow blooms, ‘Black Knight’ – the dark and dramatic beauty; and the more traditionally hued ‘Oxford Blue’ with its deep and desirable blue tones. The three plants in the Tempting Scabiosa atropurpurea Collection prefer well-drained soil of any type except chalk based. Plant in full sun and these hardy, herbaceous perennials will reach a height of 90cm with a spread of around 50cm.
