Scabiosa Mauve

Description

Scabiosa, commonly known as pincushion flower, is a charming perennial or annual that produces delicate, cushion-like blooms, perfect for attracting pollinators and adding elegance to borders or rock gardens.

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade.
• Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, loamy, or sandy soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH.
• Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming. Cut back in late fall to prepare for the next season.
