Scabiosa caucasica 'Blue Queen'
Low growing bedding and border plant with blue flowers, lasts well in a vase and keeps producing if deadheaded.
We originally raised this from a batch of wild seed collected for us by some friends in Prebbleton New Zealand. We have reproduced these from cuttings, as special charachteristic is better vigour than the usual insignis seedlings. Leaves are olive green with a hint of grey, branching bushy spectacular shrub with white flowers for a sunny alkaline well drained position.
