Description:
Creamy white flowers, typical of Scabious, are held high throughout summer on stems that can grow as tall as 2.5m (8ft). A good choice for the back of a border, or in any situation where height is desirable, but without excessive foliage to block out the sun for shorter plantings in the bed.
