Features

notes

Boasting white, pincushion style flowers on tall stems, Scabiosa Kudo White makes a wonderfully airy addition to the border, with flowers that can also be cut to enjoy in an arrangement inside. The larger than usual flowers attract bees and butterflies to the garden. Position in the border for long lasting colour or plant in a container to lighten and brighten the terrace. 

Insights

Wild Scabiosa are surprisingly a member of the teasel family, found throughout Europe and common in Britain, proliferating especially on chalky downland. They are a familiar but beloved wildflower, the attractive heads held high above their deeply cut foliage and above surrounding grasses in wildflower meadows.
