Scabiosa columbaria - Butterfly Blue
This petite perennial, commonly known as the Butterfly Blue pincushion flower, forms neat, ferny mounds of grey‑green foliage topped by airy sprays of lavender‑blue, pincushion‑style blooms. It delivers a remarkably long bloom period, from late spring right through to frost, making it a stellar performer in borders, containers, and cottage gardens. Effortlessly charming, it's beloved by butterflies and hummingbirds and also shines as a cut flower. 'Butterfly Blue' boasts strong hardiness, excellent drainage tolerance, and naturally resists deer—while remaining easy to grow and tidy with minimal maintenance.
