Scabiosa columbaria 'Mariposa Blue'
This is a newly introduced 'Pincushion Flower', forming a compact mound that becomes covered in lavender blue flowers from spring to the autumn. Attractive to bees and other pollinators. Hardy and easy to grow, perfect in patio containers. Removal of spent flowers encourages more blooming. Trim to shape each spring to keep compact habit.
Plant Care
Plant into any average garden soil, avoiding wet areas. Keep well watered until firmly established, feed with a good liquid fertiliser every two weeks in the flowering season.
