Scabiosa columbaria ‘Mariposa Violet’


Dwarf Pincushion Flower

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.480.280


An excellent addition to the Dwarf Pincushion Flower selections. This forms a lacy, compact mound of grey-green leaves, bearing large, button-shaped flowers in deep violet. Flowers begin to appear in early summer and continue blooming non-stop into late fall. Ideal for along the front of a sunny border, in mixed containers, the rock garden or even growing on walls. Attractive to butterflies. Deadhead occasionally in summer to tidy up the plants. Needs very good drainage in winter. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
