Scabiosa Stellata ‘Paper Moon’
Though the pale blue, idiosyncratic flowers of this scabiosa are charming and lace-like, it's the incredible ping-pong ball seed heads that we grow this variety for. A perfect piece of geometry. Lovely used fresh in late summer arrangements to give an unexpected playful feel, and perfect in elegant dried winter designs. You'll get handfuls from one plant alone.
