Scabiosa Pin Cushion blue

Scabiosa 'Pincushion Blue' is truly a high-performance cottage garden perennial celebrated for its incredibly long flowering window and exceptional compact habit. It forms a tight, neat rosette of finely cut, grey-green leaves topped with a non-stop summer parade of dome-shaped, lavender-blue flower heads. Each blossom features a ring of frilly outer petals surrounding a dense central cluster highlighted by protruding, needle-like stamens that look exactly like pins stuck into a tiny cushion. It is a premier choice for introducing reliable, low-maintenance color into the front of sunny borders, rockeries, or decorative patio containers. A veery popular choice of perennial.
