Pincushion Flower - Oxford Blue

Scabiosa atropurpurea

A fine showy variety with large, double basket flowers in a beautiful lavender-purple color. Oxford Blue is especially known for its high production but also for its pleasant scent. Great to use for cutting thanks to its high stem height and durability in vase. A towering beauty that creates both space and dynamism in summer bouquets.

Did you know that the bower plant is particularly popular with our pollinators? We warmly recommend co-planting the bower together with Zinnia and snapdragon to create a stunning butterfly border with that little extra!
