Most gardeners would consider a perennial that flowers two months or more to have a long season of bloom. 'Butterfly Blue' Scabiosa blows that standard out of the water, starting to flower in mid-spring as plants wake up and continuing until frosty nights in fall force it dormant once more -- well over five months long! Deadheading and regular irrigation will help this plant to keep its breakneck pace of bloom up, though plants do tolerate periodic drought well. A compact growth habit and appeal to butterflies make this little champ a perfect addition to smaller gardens, bed edges, and patio pots where real estate is especially valuable. Butterfly Blue Scabiosa grows well in many types of gardens, including perennial beds and borders, streetscapes, pots, rock gardens, and meadows, where these plants look right at home.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
