Scabiosa 'FOCAL SCOOP™ Purple Lace'

Scabiosa atropurpurea
Waves of boysenberry petals with lavender to white edging are borne on tall stems that eventually curve under the weight of this floral confection, curving in a way that tips each intricately beaded bud and flounced flower as if rolled on a sea of summer breezes. A superb cut flower coveted by flower farmers, with large 2.5-3" blooms.
