The same domed pincushions on the same wiry 90cm stems, but in the full jewel range: deep blackcurrant, crimson, soft lavender, salmon pink and white, all flowering together from midsummer to the first frosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the hardest-working plants in a cutting patch. Cut-and-come-again in the truest sense, honey-scented on a warm day, and covered in butterflies, which use the flat dome as a landing platform. A short row will keep a household in flowers for four months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the seed heads. Stop deadheading in late August and the central cushion elongates into an architectural globe that ripens through autumn and dries well for a winter arrangement. Before August, keep cutting, because a plant left to seed early stops flowering. Two conditions matter: full sun, and neutral to alkaline ground with real drainage, since scabious sulk and rot on heavy wet clay. And \u003cstrong\u003eget the support in at 20 or 30cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, because 90cm stems in an August storm go flat and cannot be rescued afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54828182470989,"sku":"SCB-IMP","price":2.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/2048800b7a77bf32ba3f6f5_upscale.jpg?v=1790284666","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-scabious-imperial-mix","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
