Cephalaria alpina — Alpine Scabious — is a tall perennial with dark green leaves divided into opposite pairs of leaflets along the stem. Soft yellow, scabious-like flowers appear in summer, followed by attractive globe-shaped seedheads.
Grow in a sunny position in well-drained soil. It is ideal for the middle or back of a border and is particularly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators. Short-lived but self-seeding, it is well suited to wildflower, prairie, and cottage garden schemes where it will naturalise happily.
