More Information

Description ‘Butterfly Blue’ pincushion flower (Scabiosa columbaria) is a rather small plant, but it makes a big impact in the garden with its insanely long bloom time. Starting in April its unique, frilly rounded flowers start popping up in masses and continue to feed pollinators well into frost. Its petite habit allows it to be tucked easily into mixed beds, containers, or cut flower gardens where it will be rather low maintenance after it has established. If you enjoy spending time in your garden, this selection responds well to deadheading and will reward you with more prolific reblooming. Details How To Grow

Already Blooming

I just got this plant and planted it a couple of weeks ago. Already blooming! I really like getting plants that I just stick in the ground as opposed to pieces of root that I have to nurture into a plant.

50/50

I ordered two of these. One was super healthy and is going great with nice blooms.
The other was sickly and hasn’t grown at all, I don’t expect it to survive the winter.
