Thanks, Ginny, for filling in the "blanks." I also have a
Cephalaria gigantea but it hasn't bloomed yet. I'm very glad to hear its
airy in stature. I kinda squeezed it in a tight place!

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all
who look upon them to do likewise.

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.
