Scabiosa columbaria 'Flutter™ Deep Blue' PP28043 Pincushion Flower - Qt. Pots - Flat of 10

Photo Credit: Proven Winners - www.provenwinners.com There’s something old-fashioned about a pincushion flower—until one like this comes along and proves the breed still has a few tricks left. Scabiosa columbaria ‘Flutter™ Deep Blue’ bears an easy abundance of rich, velvety blue blooms, each perched on wiry stems that sway and dance with the slightest breeze. The flowers rise above a tidy mound of finely cut, gray-green foliage, blooming steadily from late spring well into fall if kept deadheaded. Butterflies find it quickly—drawn as if by instinct—and once they arrive, they tend to linger. Unlike the taller, looser scabiosas of old cottage borders, ‘Flutter™ Deep Blue’ keeps a more compact, refined habit without losing its charm. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, shrugging off heat better than you might expect, provided it isn’t left standing in soggy ground. Give it a place where it can catch the light and the eye—along a border edge, in a cutting garden, or spilling from a container—and it will repay you with months of steady color and quiet movement.
