Scabiosa - Giant Blue
It will do excellent for front-of-the-border areas, with Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam', Dianthus 'Bath's Pink', in mass plantings or as cut flowers. ‘Giant Blue’ is great for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds and does excellent in rock gardens. It has larger lavender-blue flowers that bloom from June to October. Deadheading after the first bloom will encourage repeat bloom time. The Scabiosa 'Giant Blue' is a vigous version of the 'Buttefly Blue'. With its gray-green foliage, it has a plant height of 16” and a spread of 12-18". It is also disease resistant. ‘Giant Blue’ is reminiscent of a pincushion full of pins. It is best to plant Scabiosa in full sun, with well-drained soil and should be watered regularly throughout the warmer months to increase its overall performance. ... get more information
