Re: Scabiosa Butterfly Blue/ AND A YELLOW VARIETY


The scabiosa Susan is referring to is S. ochroleuca.  I haven't found this one to bloom quite as long as 'Butterfly Blue'.  There is also a giant scabiosa call Cephalaria gigantea (Tree Scabiosa) that is huge in bloom.  It can grow 6 to 8 feet tall in bloom and usually doesn't need staking if it is planted in full sun.  It is a good "see-through" plant--very airy.  This one looks good with S. ochroleuca in front since they are the same color.  I would plant something else in the middle of the two for contrast.
