Pincushion Flower
Scabiosa atropurpurea
Sweet scabious is a cottage garden staple and accomplished cut flower, producing a seemingly endless succession of richly scented domed flowerheads in sumptuous tones from deep maroon and crimson through to lavender and white, throughout summer and well into autumn. The flowers are outstanding magnets for bees and butterflies, adding movement and wildlife richness to any sunny border.
