Scabiosa columbaria 'Mariposa Blue'
Scabiosa columbaria 'Mariposa Blue' is a compact, clump-forming perennial producing masses of soft blue pincushion flowers above finely cut, ferny green foliage. Flowering continuously from spring through to autumn, it provides months of colour and valuable nectar for pollinating insects.
This free-flowering variety is ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly borders, gravel gardens, and mixed perennial planting schemes. Its neat habit also makes it well suited to containers and the front of sunny borders where the delicate blooms can be appreciated up close.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, 'Mariposa Blue' thrives in a sunny position and rewards gardeners with an exceptionally long flowering season and a steady stream of visiting bees and butterflies.
