Succisa pratensis, commonly known as Devil's Bit Scabious, is a captivating perennial that brings a splash of vivid blue to gardens and wild areas from August to October. Its delicate, button-like blooms resemble fluttering blue butterflies, making it a delightful feature in any landscape. Often found in marshes, pastures, and hedgerows, this resilient plant thrives in damp meadows, stream banks, and rocky grasslands, adapting to a range of soil types from calcareous to slightly acidic. Despite its preference for moist conditions, it adapts well to ordinary garden soils, excelling in cooler, shaded spots and proving hardy even on wet ground during winter. Ideal for informal borders, Succisa pratensis seamlessly integrates with sultry Dahlias, Heleniums, and late-blooming Daisies. It reaches up to 3 feet in cultivation, contrasting sharply with the compact form seen in the wild due to grazing. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Devil's Bit Scabious is a magnet for pollinators, enticing late-flying butterflies and bees, and bringing life to your garden during early autumn.
