Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews
A compact, perennial scabious producing masses of lilac-blue blooms throughout the summer, above neat cushions of green foliage. These charming pincushion flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies and their slender wiry stems can also be cut for a posy or small vase indoors. Scabious 'Blue Jeans' makes a fabulous addition to the front of cottage garden borders, where it blends well with any colour scheme. Height and spread: 45cm (18").

Garden Ready Plants - If you’ve fallen behind with your planting or if greenhouse space is limited, we can help you catch up with our garden-ready plug plants. These sturdy plants are larger than other plugs so they can be planted straight out in the garden provided that there are no forecasts of frost. Perfect for filling containers, baskets and borders without the need for growing on.

Pot up scabious plug plants into 9cm pots and grow them on in frost-free conditions. When plugs are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days and transplant into borders. Plant Scabiosa in any well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, which is not excessively wet in winter. Choose a position in full sun. Garden Ready plug plants can be planted straight out in the garden provided that there are no forecasts of frost.
Water Scabiosa plants regularly until they are fully established. Cut back faded scabious flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps in spring.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
