Plant description
If the spent flowers are deadheaded regularly, 'Kudo White' will carry on producing its larger than average, button-like flowers all the way throughout the summer. Attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, the flowers of this scabiosa look great when woven through a mixed or herbaceous border, but they are also perfect for a wildlife-friendly patch or more naturalised planting schemes.

How to care for Scabiosa Kudo White ('Ichwit') (Kudo Series):
Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Protect young plants from slug damage by using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Regular deadheading is crucial to prolong flowering, while cutting back faded flower stems in autumn helps maintain plant health.
Additionally, provide a light mulch to protect the roots over winter and ensure the plant has enough space for good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
