Scabious Pink Mist is a soft, airy perennial with delicate pale pink pincushion flowers that bloom from early summer right into autumn. The pretty, lightly domed flowers sit on slender stems above a neat mound of fresh green foliage, adding gentle movement and a relaxed, natural feel to borders. Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, Pink Mist is ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife friendly planting and mixed borders where a long season of subtle colour is needed. It blends beautifully with grasses, salvias and other airy summer perennials.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
