Scabiosa caucasica 'Clive Greaves'


Scabiosa caucasica 'Clive Greaves' (Scabiosa caucasica)

I was pleased when this opened today and it was the lilac one - now I have two different ones - white and lilac. :-)

I prefer it to the 'Butterfly Blue' ones, Eileen.

It's lovely Spritz, are these the ones you referred to the other day, looking out for them/more ?

The ones i prefer are the Pink Mist and Ritz Blue, they are more compact and mound forming, is this a taller or shorter type because i quite fancy these colours too !!!!!

No - it's the Chilli Pepper/Sauce/Black series that I'm still looking for, having lost all mine last winter!

Thses two are on wiry stems, not as compact as the 'Butterfly' ones, but elegant if that makes sense!

Ah yes, i remember the 'chillis' now.
I'll keep a look out for them :)

I like this one Spritz. My Chilli Black is now in flower so I am hoping to save some seed later in the season. I've put you on my list for some if I'm successful.

Thanks, Toto. To my great astonishment I found one today! Not the others, though. I will also try to get some seed from it - maybe between us we can grow some - they seem to be in very short supply this year.
