Light, graceful & full of movement—these Scabious plants bring delicate charm & colour from early summer through autumn.
You can choose from four beautiful varieties: the soft lavender-blue blooms of Butterfly Blue, the richly coloured Mariposa Blue, the romantic blush tones of Pink Mist, or the pure, elegant Kudo White. Each variety produces masses of pincushion-like flowers held above neat, compact mounds of green foliage. Perfect for borders, cottage-style gardens or patio containers, Scabious provide long-lasting blooms that attract bees, butterflies & pollinators throughout the warmer months.
Each plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 2L rootball in its nursery pot, grown in premium peat-free compost & hand-raised at our Yorkshire nursery. Larger & stronger than smaller starter plants, they arrive garden-ready with mature roots & vibrant foliage. Easy to grow & rewarding, Scabious thrive in full sun & well-drained soil—producing an abundance of flowers ideal for cutting, wildlife gardens or simply adding soft colour & movement to your summer displays.
