Scabiosa caucasica 'Blue Perfection' - 2026

Scabiosa caucasica 'Blue Perfection' is a clump-forming perennial admired for its large, soft lavender-blue, pincushion-like flowers that bloom from midsummer well into early autumn. Each bloom is delicately ruffled, carried on slender stems above neat mounds of grey-green foliage. The airy, elegant flowers make superb additions to borders, rock gardens, or cottage-style plantings, where they provide both colour and texture. Their long stems also make them ideal for cutting, adding charm and grace to floral arrangements.

This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing best in moderately fertile conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and benefits from regular deadheading to prolong flowering. The blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. Low-maintenance and hardy, 'Blue Perfection' combines visual appeal with ecological value, rewarding gardeners with months of colour and movement.
