Scabiosa Mauve Pincushion Flower

Scabiosa Mauve Pincushion Flower is a graceful and long-blooming perennial that brings soft, romantic colour to the garden. Its delicate, mauve-lilac blooms sit like pincushions atop slender stems, gently swaying in the breeze and adding movement and texture to borders and beds from late spring through autumn.

Compact and free-flowering, this variety is ideal for edging, cottage gardens, or containers, where its charming blooms can be enjoyed up close. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, is drought tolerant and low-maintenance. A magnet for bees and butterflies, it’s as beneficial as it is beautiful.

For gardeners seeking reliable colour and a soft, natural look, Scabiosa Mauve Pincushion Flower is a timeless favourite.

Scabiosa will attract bees and butterflies to your garden, and the long lasting flowers have been a florist and flower arrangers' favourite for many years. The long strong stms are ideal for use in the vase and they will also dry very well making an interesting dried flower addition. Prefers a full sun position and a well drained soi; regular watering and deadheading (or picking flowers) will create a colourful display from late Spring until Autumn.
