Cephalaria gigantea
Height x Spread: 150cm x 90cm
Cephalaria gigantea has soft yellow, Scabious-like flowers which sit atop tall branching stems. Commonly known as the Giant Scabious, this is an imposing plant, perfect for adding structure to expansive herbaceous borders but equally at home within a cottage garden setting where it will add airy, height.
Best when planted in a sunny location and in well-drained soil - this is a plant that is popular with our pollinators.
