Cephalaria gigantea, commonly known as giant scabious, bears soft yellow, scabious-like flowers atop tall branching stems in summer. An imposing plant, it is perfect for adding structure and airy height to an expansive herbaceous border, and equally at home in a cottage garden setting.

Grow in a sunny position in well-drained soil. It is highly attractive to pollinators.
