Scabiosa Oxford Blue - Pincushion Flower - Scabious
Availability: Out of stock
Attract butterflies to your garden in droves with this mouth-watering scabious. Scabiosa atropurpurea ‘Oxford Blue’ features rich violet-blue pincushion flowers with delicate frilled petals held above fine branching stems from summer until autumn. Elegant and versatile, plant this perennial in cottage gardens and wildlife-style arrangements or style it fashionably in vases as cut flowers.
'Oxford Blue' prefers well-drained soil, a sunny position and some shelter from strong winds. Water moderately during dry weather, remove spent flowers regularly, and lightly trim plants after flowering to maintain a tidy habit. Pair with achillea and nepeta for a relaxed cottage garden effect, and if blooms are left to mature, the seed heads provide lasting late-season interest. Easy to grow, 'Oxford Blue' is a timeless favourite for creating soft colour and graceful movement in borders.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
