Scabiosa

Scabiosa, commonly known as pincushion flower or scabious, is a genus of flowering plants in the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae), known for its signature spherical flower heads with fringed petals surrounding prominent stamens in a pincushion formation. 

Available in a sophisticated range of hues—from cool blues and lavenders through warm pinks and reds to nearly black varieties. Flowers emit a subtle honey aroma and deliver abundant nectar, establishing Scabiosa as a premier selection for pollinator-focused gardens for butterflies and bees. 

Performs best in full sun (6+ hours per day) and zones 4-9.
