FIELD SCABIOUS -Knautia arvensis – 2 litre pot

Wherever you plant this gorgeous blue/mauve mass of flowers it will produce romance and movement as it sways tall elegant flower heads in the quietest breeze.  The best thing about this is that it is a UK Native Wildflower.

Field scabious used to appear very prolifically in neutral grassland, meadow, rough pasture, hedgerows, verges and grassy waste ground.

Its true that it was an old folklore medicinal used to treat scabies and other itchy afflictions including, believe it or not the Bubonic Plague…

Another name for this plant is gipsy rose.

A true perennial, field scabious flowers mid to late summer with lilac-blue flowerheads from dainty hairy stems and grows to a flowering height of up to 100cm.
