Scabiosa 'Pink Mist'

Scabiosa 'Pink Mist' is a compact, long-flowering perennial valued for its soft pink, pincushion-like blooms held on slender stems above neat mounds of foliage. Best in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile, neutral to alkaline (including chalky) soils, it rewards with a generous display from early to late summer; regular deadheading encourages further blooms. Ideal for Irish borders and cottage-style plantings, it reaches around 45cm in height and spread, and its nectar-rich flowers are excellent for pollinators and for cutting.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
