Pink or blue scabiosa for sunny areas. [Hostas for shade.] Submitted by LaWana
After years of working in (hort.) retail, I would recommend scabiosa-blue, pink, or the newer Pink Lemonade for a new gardener. They bloom non-stop like an annual, attract butterflies, only requiring some deadheading to keep the blooms going. In October here in St. Louis (zone 6) they are still blooming along with newly planted pansies! Submitted by MaryAdams
