Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Rose’

Common Name:
Pincushion Flower 'POWDER PUFF™ Rose'

Description:
Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Rose’ is a refined and floriferous perennial known for its softly ruffled rose-pink flowers perched delicately atop tall, slender stems. The classic pincushion form of the bloom adds a romantic and airy quality to garden beds and borders, while its long flowering period—from spring through to autumn—provides ongoing colour and movement in the landscape. The finely textured foliage forms a compact mound, creating a tidy base that contrasts attractively with the upright flower stems. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, this plant performs best in full sun to part shade with well-drained soils. It’s drought-tolerant once established and benefits from occasional deadheading to encourage further blooming. Ideal for cottage gardens, mixed perennial beds, and pots, 'POWDER PUFF™ Rose' is also a standout cut flower and a favourite among pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies in abundance.
