Scabiosa columbaria 'Flutter Deep Blue'

Description

Scabiosa columbaria 'Flutter Deep Blue' is a compact, long-blooming perennial known for its vibrant blue-purple, pincushion-like flowers that float gracefully above a tidy mound of green foliage. Part of the 'Flutter' series, this variety is especially prized for its early blooming, compact growth habit, and excellent performance in containers or garden borders.

The showy blooms attract butterflies and bees, making it a favorite for pollinator-friendly gardens. It’s easy to grow and thrives in sunny, well-drained sites.

Key Features:

Flower Color: Rich blue to violet-purple, round, pincushion-shaped blooms.
Foliage: Finely cut, gray-green to green leaves forming a neat clump.
Height & Spread: About 10–12 inches tall and 12–15 inches wide.
Bloom Time: Late spring through fall; very long flowering period.
Light Requirements: Full sun is best, though it tolerates light shade.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; avoid soggy sites.
Hardiness: USDA zones 4–9.
Maintenance: Low; deadheading encourages continuous blooming.
Pollinators: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hoverflies.
Uses: Ideal for front borders, rock gardens, containers, and pollinator beds.

Note

Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
