Scabious Pink Mist

A  small, very pretty, Irish-bred scabious, Scabiosa Pink Mist is a compact, herbaceous perennial with a clump-forming habit. The grey-green, ferny foliage, a lovely foil for the flowers, forms a rounded clump. Very pretty, frilly, pink, ‘pincushion’ flowers rise on branching, wiry stems for a long period, from June until autumn, and will attract butterflies & bees to your garden. Deadhead to prolong flowering. Scabious Pink Mist is drought-tolerant once established. It can also be grown in containers.
