Scabious Atropurpuria
One of my absolute favourites in the garden - it's beautiful and so easy to grow. I grow snow maiden - the white and black Knight. Hardy and will self seed occasionally here. The white more so than the black.
The bees love it and it's hardy so flowers for a long time. I do an autumn sowing and a spring sowing.
The seedlings are in my greenhouse at the moment from a late September sowing. The black scabious photo was taken in the garden in November, the white seems a little hardier and often flowers much earlier than the black.
