Scabiosa - Samanthas Pink The Scabiosa 'Samanthas Pink', is a vigorous and robust Pinchusion plant, displaying large pink flowers. The lovely medium pink blooms on long stems also cut well. ‘Samanthas Pink’ is reminiscent of a pincushion full of pins. With its gray-green foliage, it has a plant height of 16” and a spread of 12-18". It is also disease resistant. It is best to plant Scabiosa in full sun, with well-drained soil and should be watered regularly throughout the warmer months to increase its overall performance. Deadheading after the first bloom will encourage repeat bloom time. ‘Giant Blue’ is great for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds and does excellent in rock gardens. It will do excellent for front-of-the-border areas, with Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam', Dianthus 'Bath's Pink', in mass plantings or as cut flowers. |
