Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Pink’

Common Name:
Powder Puff Pink Pincushion Flower

Description:
Scabiosa ‘POWDER PUFF™ Pink’ is a compact, free-flowering perennial renowned for its soft, cushion-like blooms in delicate shades of shell pink. A modern variety bred for prolific flowering and tidy growth, this cultivar produces a near-continuous display from late spring into autumn, especially when regularly deadheaded. Its finely divided, grey-green foliage forms a neat mound, while slender stems hold the blooms aloft, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Perfect for Melbourne gardens, ‘POWDER PUFF™ Pink’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, with good tolerance to heat and light frosts. It makes an excellent feature in borders, rockeries, containers, and cottage-style plantings. Its long flowering season, graceful form, and pastel palette also make it a prized addition to cut flower arrangements.
