Overview

Beautiful primrose-yellow flowers on towering stems. A close relative of Scabiosa, this tall, clump-forming perennial produces primrose-yellow flowerheads throughout the summer on stout, upright stems.The flowers are loved by bees and other beneficial insects, and the plants have a tendancy to self-seed if not dead-headed regularly. Plant it at the back of a mixed or herbaceous border, or combine it with taller ornamental grasses in a prairie-style style setting.

Care guide

Plant into soil that has been improved with organic matter. Deadhead regularly throughout the summer to prolong flowering. Once established, cut the plant back down to the ground and compost the dead stems in autumn.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
