Scabious 'Butterfly Blue' lives up to its name by attracting butterflies and other beneficial insects such as bees. It is therefore the perfect choice for wildlife areas, cut flower gardens and sunny herbaceous borders. The attractive Pincushion flower produces long lasting, lavender blue flowers from July to October on slender stems above lance shaped foliage that is grey-green in colour. This Scabiosa plant is a cottage garden favourite and creates a stunning display when planted in large drifts throughout the border. Height and Spread: 40cm (16").

Culinary information: Some parts of these flowers are edible. Click here for more details about edible flowers.
