Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Perfection’

Pincushion Flower 'Powder Puff Perfection'

Description:
Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Perfection’ is a refined, compact variety of the popular pincushion flower, celebrated for its soft pastel blooms, prolific flowering, and pollinator appeal. This cultivar produces perfectly rounded, powder-puff-like flowers in shades of soft lavender to mauve with delicate lacy petals, rising elegantly above a mound of finely cut green foliage. Well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in full sun and prefers free-draining soil enriched with organic matter. ‘Powder Puff Perfection’ flowers continuously from spring through autumn, providing long-lasting colour for borders, cottage gardens, containers, or cutting gardens. Its neat, mounded habit and reliable flowering make it ideal for front-of-border planting or mass displays. Regular deadheading will encourage a continuous flush of blooms, and it tolerates light frosts, making it a strong performer across multiple seasons.
