Scabious Butterfly Blue 9cm/2L
Scabious ‘Butterfly Blue’ is a charming perennial that lives up to its name, drawing in butterflies and bees all summer long. Its pincushion-like flowers in soft lavender-blue sit above neat mounds of grey-green foliage, bringing a gentle splash of colour that works beautifully in borders or pots.
Long-flowering and easy-going, it’s a real asset to any garden looking for colour, movement, and wildlife appeal.

Deadhead regularly to keep the blooms coming right through to autumn.
Many garden designers recommend planting Scabious in groups of three for a balanced, cohesive look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don't worry—this plant also looks great on its own or in smaller groupings!
