Scabiosa columbaria
'Pink Mist' is the hardiest cultivar that I have seen. Pink Mist is more
compact than the cultivar 'butterfly blue' and the flowers last
longer. This pincushion flower forms a mound that is 8" tall
and 18" wide, the soft pink flowers are borne on 4-6" stalks.
Adult butterflies are attracted to the flowers for their nectar.
Snipping off the spent blooms encourages new flowers and keeps the plants
looking tidy. Scabiosa columbaria is native to East
Africa. Scabiosa columbaria can be expected to bloom through
the Spring and Summer if the spent blossoms are removed.
