Isaac House Mix Scabiosa
The Scabiosa is an excellent cut flower, and they lend themselves to be used in formal flower borders and wildflower gardens.
The blossoms appear as fragile as summer snowflakes but this is a tough, carefree, very hardy plant with few pests or diseases.
The flowers are 3 to 4 inches wide and the outer frill of the petals is pink, white, and lavender blue while the center "pincushion" is white with pinkish pins.
The Scabiosa Pincushion Flower Isaac House Mix, 'Scabiosa caucasica', is a charming, traditional cottage garden beauty.

Leafhoppers are 1/4 inch long pests that like to suck the juices right out leaves, buds,and stems. You can keep these bugs away by planting petunias, geraniums and perennial grasses - they hate moisture and low light.
