Scabiosa columbaria
Very pretty perennial native to Europe (including the UK) and parts of Asia. From the basal rosette branched stems arise in spring to carry the pale blue/lavender flowers from early summer well into autumn. The flowers are especially rich in both nectar and pollen and are a magnet for bees, butterflies and hoverflies.
The Dwarf Pincushion Flower grows best in full sun in light, calcareous soils, with good drainage, and is easy care, thriving even in nutrient-poor soils. A great addition to gravel or dry gardens and biodiversity/wildlife gardens. It also makes a great cut flower.
Frost hardy perennial. Height 50cm, spread 20cm.
9cm pot

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
