Thompson & Morgan Scabiosa Ochroleuca 9Cm Potted Plant X 2 from B&Q

Thompson & Morgan

Scabiosa columbaria subsp. ochroleuca is a charming perennial, beloved for its soft, creamy-yellow pincushion blooms that grace the garden from early summer through to autumn. A stunning alternative to traditional purple or mauve scabious, its elegant colour works beautifully in cottage garden borders, naturalistic planting schemes or pollinator patches. Its nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees and butterflies, bringing life and movement to any outdoor space. This low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly plant thrives in a sunny spot with well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil. It’s ideal for creating height and contrast in mixed borders, where its airy flower heads sway gently in the breeze. Deadheading encourages even more blooms, while its clump-forming nature makes it suitable for dividing and spreading over time. A superb perennial for gardeners looking to support biodiversity with long-lasting summer colour. How to Grow:Light: Prefers full sun.Temperature: Hardy in most UK conditions.Watering: Water regularly until established; avoid waterlogged soil.Feeding: No special feeding required; mulch in spring for added nutrients.Humidity: Prefers dry to moderate humidity; dislikes excessive damp. Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity.
