Big Sky Flowers - Giant Scabious

Giant Scabious (Cephalaria gigantea) makes a dramatic, yet informal, statement in the border, bearing stout, upright stems from which pale primrose-yellow scabious flowers attract a wealth of pollinators. It grows up to 2m, is perennial, and may self seed. the dense lower leaves keep all but the hardiest weeds at bay, and the tall graceful flowers are wind resistant.
