Product Details

Seemingly very close our lovely native Field Scabious, this has been selected from the Melton Pastels mix of Knautia macedonica. It bears beatiful lilac, blue and occasionally pink flowers all summer. Starts to flower in May and doesn't really stop. It likes well drained soil and is very drought tolerant. Seeds about generously. It grows into an unruly but gorgeous 1.2m high sprawl of flowers, buds and seed heads. Support helps

Sow on arrival or in early Spring in good gritty seed compost

1.2m Any well drained soil in full sun. DROUGHT TOLERANT

At least 50 seeds
