How to care for Scabiosa caucasica Perfecta Mid Blue (Perfecta Series):
Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and cut back the faded flower stems in autumn. Lift and divide large clumps every three years in spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
