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 potted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away and water gently if the compost feels dry. Pot the plug into a small pot using fresh compost and keep the compost lightly moist while the roots establish. Once the plant has grown on and the risk of frost has passed, it can be planted into the garden where it will develop into a healthy, long lasting perennial.
