Variant

Tall pale lemon buttercream giant scabiosa.

Bumblebees love this flower, I often find them settled in for the night underneath the flowers or seed heads late in the evenings.

Plant Type: Perennial

Ideal Location: Full Sun

Spacing: 50cm+

Height: 140cm+

Plants take about 2-3 years to reach full size, make sure to leave at least 50cm space between any other perennials or shrubs, but it's definitely worth planting some shorter annuals in closer in it's first season or two (better to have some pretty annuals instead of space for weeds!).

It can get quite tall, but we've never needed to give it support - albeit it is in one of our more sheltered corners of the field.

It's foliage doesn't down over winter at our farm.

Our Plant Boxes

We've designed our plant boxes to be as courier proof as physically possible to ensure your plants always arrive in top condition!

To cover the costs of our customs boxes we do however have a minimum plant order of $65 (approx. 7 plants) – you can mix & match any plants or sleeve specials to meet the minimum. (Plant Collection Boxes are however standalone boxes and do not count towards the minimums).

If you want to make the most of the shipping, our plant boxes can fit up to 10 plants per box, and for the most cost effective per plant shipping we can tape two boxes together (which fits 20 plants total).

Plant orders are shipped on Mondays (& Tuesdays).
