Scabiosa ‘Butterfly Blue”

(Scabiosa columbaria)

This gem is the ULTIMATE butterfly magnet!  During the summer it blooms non-stop with  lovely lavender-blue, flowers that resemble pincushions.  Keep it dead headed to promote even more.  It’s easy to see why it was named Perennial Plant of the Year in 2000.  It grows 12-18″ tall and likes the full sun or just a bit of shade. This plant will be frequented by butterflies and bees.Perennial.
