Known as the Devils bit scabious this slow growing native perennial produces distinctive violet-blue pincushion flowers with green bracts, held aloft on dainty but sturdy stems, above a elliptical basal foliage rosette from June into the Autumn months, filling that late summer gap in colour
A native of wild meadows & woodland edges & is ideal in naturalistic planting schemes
Prefers full sun to dappled shade in damp to free draining soil and will increase slowly
Provides nectar for a multitude of pollinating insects
Avoid cutting back hard in the Autumn as an early spring tidy and cut back enhances the vitality of this variety
