Plant description
With its larger-than-average flowerheads for a scabious, 'Kudo Blue' brings a burst of charm to sunny borders from spring to autumn. This versatile plant thrives in containers, bobbing and weaving through summer beds and borders with its neat, mounded habit. Its long-lasting, pale blue flowers are a pollinating insect magnet and a perfect addition to cut flower displays.
