Butterfly Blue Pincushion flower is known for being the most floriferous of the Scabiosa family.
|
|
We have been enjoying them particularly this spring because
|
|
our crop of propagated liners is half blue and half hot pink.

|
The stems on the Butterfly blue are 12-18” tall so they
|
|
make a nice addition to a cut flower arrangement,
|
|
but the plants themselves are low to the ground,
|
|
for a nice front of the border punch of color,
|
|
or some nice color to pop up behind some low grasses
|
|
or sedum to provide a longer season of interest.

|
Pincushion flowers are drought tolerant,
|
|
and will produce copious flowers in both full sun and part shade.
