Scabiosa `Flutter Pure White` – 2 litre pot
Otter Price: £9.99
Scabiosa `Flutter Pure White’ is a mound-forming perennial with white pincushion flowers on long stems which can be seen from early summer into autumn. Ferny green leaves are visible in spring, summer and autumn. With a height and spread of 50cm, this variety is ideal amongst a mixed border or in a planted container arrangement. Due to the mass of open flowers for long periods, Scabiosa is perfect for attracting pollinators and wildlife into the garden. Preferably positioned in full sun to maximise the quantity of flowers produced.
Care Instructions:
– For best results, plant in the spring when the soil is no longer frozen.
– Keeping the plants in a container is possible; use large and deep containers to prevent roots from freezing during winter. Ensure the containers have drainage holes in the bottom as planting in small containers can lead to root-bound plants.
– Adequate watering is essential after planting, and the soil should be kept moist, but well drained to ensure the plant establishes well. During winter, avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent rot.
– To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flowers, spent stems and damaged leaves.
– Use balanced organic fertilisers to feed older plants in February/March and repeat in July/August.
