Scabiosa
'Blue Eyes'
scabious
Scabiosa 'Blue Eyes' is a compact scabious with quite remarkable flower power, bred by the Seoha Plant Breeding Institute in Korea and clearly not short on ambition. This innovative hybrid forms a naturally low, rounded plant, reaching around 15cm high and 30cm wide, yet can produce more than 50 violet-purple flowers on a single plant. The blooms sit neatly around the domed habit, giving Scabiosa 'Blue Eyes' a full, cushion-like effect from spring into summer. Unlike many scabious varieties, the flowers remain pleasingly compact, making Scabiosa 'Blue Eyes' especially tidy and useful in smaller spaces.
Plant Scabiosa 'Blue Eyes' in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun, where its colour and compact shape can be enjoyed at the front of borders, in pots or woven through low landscape planting. Its violet-purple blooms pair beautifully with silver foliage, ornamental grasses, white daisies, salvias and soft pink perennials, creating a relaxed but polished summer display. Bee-friendly and hardy to around minus 20 degrees Celsius, it offers plenty of practical appeal alongside its neat good looks. Floriferous, fast-growing and charmingly well behaved, Scabiosa 'Blue Eyes' is ideal for gardeners who like their perennials compact, colourful and very generously supplied with flowers.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
