Scabiosa Oxford Blue

Scabiosa (scabiosa stellata, scabious flower, pincushion flower, starflower)

Scabiosa atropurpurea 'Oxford Blue' has fully double, lightly scented pin cushion flower heads which are a delightfully pretty shade of light blue. Scabiosa makes excellent cut flowers because of their long vase life. Scabiosa Oxford Blue works great as a filler for borders.

It prefers in full sun and well-drained soil but can deal with some shade. Cut or deadhead blooms to prolong flowering or leave on so that the plant will self-seed. The birds also love scabiosa seeds!
