Flower Facts | Scabious |
Scabious
Name: Botanical name
Scabiosa Origin: They have been cultivated since 1800, when they were brought from Hungary and Mediterranean Russia. Colour: Scabious are available in a soft lavender blue, lilac or creamy white. Availability: All year but main season summer Family: Scabious are close relatives of the teasel, though you wouldn't know it to look at them. Their cousins may be stiff, spiky, prickly plants like ornamental hedgehogs, but scabious are gentle, pastel-coloured daisy-like flowers often seen in cottage gardens and cornfield fringes.
