More About Scabiosa ‘Flutter® Pure White’

Scabiosa ‘Flutter® Pure White’ delivers clean, snow-white pincushion flowers that float above compact, finely textured foliage. The blooms are produced continuously from late spring through fall, providing a bright, refined look that blends effortlessly into almost any garden design.

The Flutter® series was bred for improved heat tolerance, uniform growth, and extended bloom, making this selection more durable and consistent than many older scabiosa varieties.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Flutter® Pure White’ has been a standout for reliability and season-long bloom, holding its crisp white color without yellowing even in peak summer heat. The plant maintains a tidy habit and continues flowering steadily with minimal care.

We especially appreciate its design versatility. White scabiosa acts as a perfect balancing plant, softening bold color schemes and brightening mixed borders, containers, and pollinator gardens.

‘Flutter® Pure White’ vs. Other Scabiosa

Compared to classic varieties like ‘Butterfly Blue,’ ‘Flutter® Pure White’ offers a cleaner, more modern look with improved heat performance.

When compared to pastel selections such as ‘Pink Mist,’ it provides higher contrast and broader pairing flexibility. For gardeners seeking a long-blooming, heat-tolerant white scabiosa with a refined habit, Scabiosa ‘Flutter® Pure White’ is an excellent choice.
