Enchanting lavender blue flowers on delicate stems make Scabiosa columbaria ‘Butterfly Blue’ a wonderful addition to the summer garden. Known as a type of Pincushion flower they are perfect for adding gentle charm and colour to displays.
With flowers growing above lance shaped, grey green leaves, it adds further texture and interest to admire throughout the seasons. Admire the textured and intricately detailed flowers in delightful container displays or let them add the perfect finishing flourish to your garden as a beautiful edging. Suited to a variety of garden styles they look great in relaxed planting schemes such as wildflower areas or rock gardens. They also make an excellent addition to fresh cut or dried floral arrangements around the home.
A magnet for bees and butterflies, they are a great way to attract pollinators into your garden. This has been recognised by its inclusion in the Royal Horticultural Society Plants for Pollinators Collection.
To get the best display from your Scabiosa columbaria ‘Butterfly Blue’, plant it in a sunny spot, in moist but free draining soil. Remember to regularly deadhead the spent flowers to extend the flowering season and encourage new buds to form.
