Notes
Shortlisted for Plant of the Year at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024, this new variety of scabious, Kudo Blue (ICHBU2005) is notable for its larger than usual, pale blue pincushion flowers, that appear above the mound of foliage and flower over several months. These attract butterflies and other pollinators and can be cut for flower arrangements.
