Soft, button-like flowerheads appear for a long period throughout the summer on branching, wiry stems, hovering above the mounds of fern-like grey-green foliage, which contrasts well with their soft pink colouring. Scabiosa 'Pink Mist' is a delightful perennial for a sunny herbaceous border or wildflower garden, where they will thrive in well drained, neutral to alkaline soils.
Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Protect young plants from slug damage by using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Regular deadheading is crucial to prolong flowering, while cutting back faded flower stems in autumn helps maintain plant health.
Additionally, provide a light mulch to protect the roots over winter and ensure the plant has enough space for good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
