Giant scabious, Cephalaria gigantea makes a dramatic, yet informal, statement in the border, bearing stout, upright stems from which pale primrose-yellow scabious flowers attract a wealth of pollinators. Although tall, Cephalaria gigantea isn't overbearing – its finely cut, aromatic leaves and stems are airy, allowing for growing in a range of planting schemes.
