Succisella inflexa 'Frosted Pearls'

For its snow-white Knautia-like globes tinged with just the slightest hint of icy blue, this new Jelitto Seeds perennial inspired its cultivar name. What inspired Devil's Bit remains a mystery. Thin branching stems arise from a tidy, long-lived bushy clump of spatulate, dark green leaves, elevating the prolific pink-hued buds and sprightly flowers. Counting Cephalaria and Morina as kin, 'Frosted Pearls' can be associated with ornamental grasses in the border or in a more wild area, and should definitely grace your next bouquet.

I had Succisella confused with Succisa, which is a monotypic Teasel relative, the only species being Succisa pratensis; therefore Succisa inflexa caught my eye which had corrupted it from Succisella. The photo on the Jelitto website didn't suck but what to make of this succubus daemon spawn plant with it's kinky frosted pearls and rigid parts? Be daring plant this sucker, you'll thank me later (pearls are fine but I prefer blacks to frosted).
