Scabiosa - The Pincushion Flower

Perfect!

As you do....

yes as we do Ange :o)
its very pretty but it doesn't look like the Scabiosa I have,
more like an Osteospermum.

I"m guessing at this one Eileen. The tag just says 'annual'. Scabiosa was the closest match I could find as per Google. It has a shrubby habit.

It looks very like the Scabiosas I had last year ...

They keep bringing out new varieties don't they.

The coloring of this one is amazing. I just grabbed it.

I would have too Paul ... it’s gorgeous 🙂.

I was thinking Osteospermum too, as I have it on the rockery.
Pretty colours.

You would wouldn't you Lol .. very pretty !

Thank You. Whatever it is, it adds a splash of color and it's only here for 1 season. Last year I cut down my hedges to build a fence so now I have lots of empty space to fill.

Sounds like lots of great planting ahead, Paul. It’s exciting isn’t it! Look forward to all your new additions!

Thanks Kate. Yes, it's fun to try new plants.
