    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Some flowers are just incapable of disappointing us, scabiosas are among this cherished group. They bloom late in the summer, it's true, but how we appreciate the puff of rounded blooms, the beaded flower buds that slowly swell as the summer days shorten. A superb cut flower with fresh, spring green foliage.
