I live in Zone 2 or 2b (west Calgary)and I've had my scabiosa for several years now and it is aboslutely a fave. It looks great with ornamental grasses too. Mine are planted 'mid garden' and they hang over and in with the border plants. lovely!

Yes, this is a lovely shade of blue. A colour which is very difficult to preserve. I used to grow them, when I did a lot of "pressed flower work" and found, it was quiet good in keeping the colour.
