Lomelosia caucasica
Item #1104
With long stems and beautiful shades of white, lilac, and blue, 'Isaac House Blend' is outstanding in bouquets—developed specifically for cutting. The blossoms appear as fragile as summer snowflakes, but this is a tough, very hardy plant with few pests or diseases. Scabiosa blooms for an exceptionally long time in the garden compared to other flowering perennials, and is very attractive to bees and butterflies. Dried seed heads also add interest to flower arrangements. Perennial in USDA zones 3–7. Deer resistant.
