Hi Susan, I would like to see your plant, because now I'm wondering if you
actually have Cephalaria! I have it from 2 different sources and the
flowers are not larger than Scabiosa flowers. There can be some genetic
diversity in seedlings of course. Could be you have a "new and improved"
version of the species. Now we know why gardening will always be a
combination of art and science, not an "exact" science as botany :)

I would also add the cephalaria flowers is quite a bit larger than the
scabiosa. But quite similar, yes.
