Plant Features

Butterfly Blue Scabiosa is a compact, clump-forming perennial that produce masses of 2-inch, lavender-blue flowers that bloom atop wiry stems which hover over the short mound of ferny basal foliage. It blooms for a long period throughout summer and into fall. With continued deadheading, this cultivar will often bloom through November. The flowers are great for cutting. Perfect for the front of a sunny border! Plants require excellent drainage.

Our Scabiosa (Pincushion Flower) Plants are cultivated with care and free from harmful pesticides, ensuring they are a safe and delicate addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth and airflow

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
  • - Prefers well-drained, fertile soil; tolerates sandy or loamy soil

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water thoroughly when first planted, allowing soil to dry between waterings
  • - Once established, Scabiosa is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and blooming
  • - Avoid heavy fertilization, as Scabiosa performs best in lean soil conditions

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering
  • - Cut back the plant in late fall or early spring to maintain a compact shape and encourage new growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Scabiosa is generally pest-free but may attract aphids or slugs in damp conditions
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and other fungal issues

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from late spring through fall with unique pincushion-shaped flowers in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerates heat and mild frost once established

Companion Plants for Scabiosa:

  • - Echinacea: Complements Scabiosa’s delicate blooms with its vibrant, daisy-like flowers and pollinator appeal
  • - Lavender: Adds a fragrant, drought-tolerant companion that pairs well with Scabiosa’s soft colors
  • - Coreopsis: Provides a bright, continuous display of yellow blooms that contrast beautifully with Scabiosa’s cool hues
  • - Salvia: Adds vertical spikes of blue or purple to enhance Scabiosa’s rounded flower heads
  • - Achillea: Complements Scabiosa’s form with its clusters of long-lasting flowers and pollinator-friendly appeal

Excellent

The scabies came well-packaged and looking healthy. They are in the ground now and doing very well. Have been buying from GrowJoy for several years and never disappointed with their product.

From Donna M | August 18, 2022

Beautiful plants

My pincushion plants arrived in perfect condition. Planted them right away and they are growing. First time I ever planted pincushion plants but by the picture I'm sure I will love them. You will not be disappointed by ordering from Grow Joy. Love all the plants I have received from them.

From Jeanette | August 13, 2022

Beautiful little plant

Nice plant with buds ready to bloom

From Betty | September 06, 2021

Very large and healthy

I am extremely happy with the flowers I received. They are the largest from any online grower. They ship and arrive guickly in excellent condition which is amazing considering the temperature where I live has been in the high 90s to 100 degrees.

From Cynthia | August 07, 2021

Received in excellent condition!

My Butterfly Blue Scabiosa plant arrived in excellent condition and the size I expected. It adapted very quickly, not losing any leaves, nor did any turn yellow or brown! Though it has been acclimating, not growing much so far, in the last week it is really taking off! I am very happy with my purchase and am fully confident the blooms will be gorgeous ~ the blue will be a great focal point!

From Beverly | June 13, 2021

Scabiosa

After my first order from GrowJoy I immediately went and placed a second order. The care put in their plants is first rate. I ordered 2 scabiosa plants and 1 had a flower blooming already when I opened the package. Its been in the ground a week or so and is flowering very well and has attracted several small bees and butterflies. They are now my go to for live plants!

From Dori | October 26, 2020

Perennial Blue Scabiosa

This Blue Pincushion plant arrived in great condition, and I planted it the same day. The price was good, and the ordering and shipping process was seamless. I have ordered from Grow Joy for over 2 years.

From Janice | October 18, 2020

Scabiosa

Everything arrived in good condition and with buds and I also love the way you packaged my plants, safe.

From Priscilla | August 09, 2018

Glad I found this company

Very impressed with secure packaging, healthy plants upon receipt, and they are adapting/loving their new Iowa habitat!!!

From anonymous | June 22, 2018

Blue pincushion

I received my order and have planted but no pics yet as they are babies. The order was impressive, packaged very meticulously, and moist still ….all intact. This is my company from now on not just because of the care but they also have plants for my climate I’m unable to get at nurseries here. Great job GrowJoy!
