How to care for Scabiosa caucasica Perfecta Alba (Perfecta Series):
Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and cut back in autumn to maintain tidy habit and form. Avoid winter wet.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
