Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Mauve’

Common Name:
Pincushion Flower 'POWDER PUFF™ Mauve'

Description:
Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Mauve’ is a compact, clumping perennial prized for its charming, mauve-lavender blooms that sit atop slender, wiry stems. These pincushion-like flowers are beloved by pollinators and gardeners alike, bringing a soft, whimsical texture to garden beds, borders, and pots. The plant produces finely dissected, grey-green foliage that forms a low mound, allowing the flower stems to rise gracefully above. Exceptionally well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, this variety prefers full sun and well-drained soil, showing resilience through dry spells once established. Blooming from spring into autumn, ‘POWDER PUFF™ Mauve’ responds well to regular deadheading, ensuring a prolonged and vibrant floral display. It’s a favourite in cottage gardens and is also excellent for cut flower arrangements.
