If your garden is constantly needling you with silent reproach for neglecting it, make it up to your outdoor space by introducing scabiosa cretica or Balearic pincushion flower. There’s nothing not to like about this beautiful plant that has enticing silvery-green lance-shaped foliage and slender stems, which bear lovely lavender blooms that are a treat to look at and will make your garden feel loved again. Balearic pincushion flower is drought-tolerant, likes poor, alkaline to neutral soils that have good drainage and is happy in areas that receive lots of sunlight. This vivacious plant is superb for coastal gardens and wildlife gardens. It attracts helpful bees and butterflies and looks lovely nestled in a border or bed.
