The scabiosa are still going strong in our yard this year. The "black night" scabiosa is such a striking color. They are a great flower to plant for a cutting garden. They last for quite some time in a vase and look really beautiful when paired with hydrangeas and roses. In the garden they can kind of flop over, but would look really nice in front of or on top of a rock wall. That way, you would be sure to see the blooms. Scabiosa are also surprisingly tough, our dog trampled them more than once this year and they still look great!
This is a beautiful bloom. How big is the flower?
ReplyDeleteAn inch to an inch and a half approximately.

Yes, they are beautiful... wish we could have them blooming all year, but it gives us something to anticipate. They've been blooming since late july so I guess I shouldn't complain! Thanks for all your comments!
