Scabiosa caucasica 'Perfection Blue' | Perfection Blue Pincushion Flower

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Scabiosa caucasica ‘Perfection Blue’ produces rounded pincushion flowers in clear lavender blue from late spring into summer, each bloom composed of densely packed white to soft pink central florets surrounded by broader outer petals that create a delicate, layered form. Slender stems hold the flowers above low clumps of softly textured green leaves that form a neat mound through the growing season.

The species originates from the Caucasus Mountains of eastern Europe and western Asia, where it grows in open meadows and mountain slopes. In gardens, ‘Perfection Blue’ is valued for borders, cottage plantings, and cutting beds, where its long-stemmed flowers mingle easily among perennials.
