Succisella: Uncommon relative of Scabious and
Knautia with similarly shaped flowers and seed heads. The leaves are long
and narrow unlike either of the above. You may find the plants variously
and incorrectly under names like Scabiosa lucida or Scabiosa australis.
Completely hardy. Easy to propagate
as the stems readily root on contact with the soil

Succisella
inflexa :
Spreading clumps of long narrow leaves.
The globular flowers are about 1/2in across and held on stems above the
foliage (flowering height about 2ft). Flowers from July onwards. We believe
this is the correct identification for a plant that we obtained as
Scabiosa australis.

2009 with planting ideas for this lovely plant.
