Scabiosa columbaria ssp. ochroleuca - Flowers from mid-summer onwards in palest yellow. A very sweet addition to the dry garden, meadow, or front of border. Seems somewhat short lived, or perhaps is just fussy about drainage. But will self-sow so not to worry! First year rosette tends to have rounded leaves, whereas a flowering age plant gets more dissected leaves. Same dull green and slightly furred texture however so should be easy to identify. Sun, well-drained, drought tolerant, height 80 cm.
