Scabiosa ochroleuca
Also known as Cream Pincushion Flower, this clump-forming herbaceous perennial is native to Europe, Russia, Turkey and western Asia. The basal and stem leaves can be simple or pinnatifid and upper stem leaves are finely divided. The dainty cream-yellow flowers borne in summer on wiry stems are typical of the genus in their domed, pincushion-like appearance, having central florets surrounded by larger marginal florets. Like other Scabiosa, the flowers are great for attracting pollinators.
Cream Scabious thrives in well-drained, open situations in neutral to alkaline soils, and works well in naturalistic plantings, wildflower borders, and underneath deciduous fruit trees.

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.
