Scabious / Scabiosa is one of the best ever herbaceous flowers.
It is hardy, slug resistant, good for bees, and it flowers profusely for ages.
Last year mine flowered from May to Christmas, and that's 100% true.
I think they are my top plant.
Well done! The prize is.......... well nothing I'm afraid Hope the flowers are still to come though, not seen any yet!
