Scabiosa question and burgandy flower suggestions

Happy day everyone.

It has finally cooled off here a little and thoughts are running to fall
rennovations.

I have a bed in depserate need of burgandy flowers.  I am zone 6b, Oregon
(wet).  Any suggestions?

Also, a friend just bought a plant labeled "scabiosa 'Ace of Spades.'  It
looks like a perennial scabiosa but says "hardy annual."  It is nearly a
black burgandy -- just gorgeous.  The color reminds me of one of the color
variations you can get in the annual scabiosa, but this plant has full-sized
flower heads.

Anyone heard of this or know the full plant name?  Have you grown it?  How
hardy an annual is it?  Will it reseed?  All information appreciated.
