Scabiosa 'Ping Pong'

Also known as Starflower Scabious or Drumstick Scabious, Scabiosa 'Ping Pong' brings a touch of whimsy to borders and bouquets with its compact, globe-shaped blooms that bob gently on wiry stems. This charming variety produces a profusion of pale lavender to soft white flower heads, each resembling a miniature ping pong ball - ideal for adding texture and movement to cottage gardens, containers, and floral arrangements.

Sow directly outdoors in shallow drills with rows around 30cm apart from April to May. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil and prepare the soil thoroughly before planting. Alternatively, sow in trays under glass and plant out when the seedlings are large enough to handle and the risk of frost has passed. Plants bloom from July to October and reach up to 90cm tall, making them ideal for mid-border planting or stylish floral arrangements. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and enjoy a continuous display.

Easy to grow and full of character, Scabiosa 'Ping Pong' is perfect for gardeners seeking low-maintenance charm with high-impact results. Whether you're designing a wildlife-friendly border or cutting for quirky vase displays, this variety makes an unusual and whimsical addition to any outdoor space.
