Summer Nights Pincushion Flower (Scabiosa 'Summer Nights') is a dramatically dark and sophisticated perennial that makes a bold statement in the summer border with deep, wine-red flowerheads studded with distinctive white pin-like stamens — a striking, high-contrast combination that creates a sense of nocturnal mystery and jewel-toned depth unlike any other pincushion flower variety. The moody, deep-toned blooms on slender, graceful stems bring a unique dark elegance to mixed border plantings, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens where rich, unusual color creates the most memorable and distinctive seasonal displays.

Grown from professional-grade nursery stock, Summer Nights Pincushion Flower arrives with a healthy, well-established root system ready to establish quickly and produce its distinctive dark blooms throughout the summer season. The extraordinary combination of deep wine-red petals and contrasting white pin-like stamens creates an almost jewel-like quality that is especially effective in evening garden settings and pairs dramatically with silver foliage, soft lavenders, and creamy whites in mixed seasonal designs.

  • Dramatic Wine-Red & White Pin Studded Blooms: Deep, wine-red flowerheads dramatically studded with distinctive white pin-like stamens create a striking high-contrast combination with a nocturnal, jewel-toned quality — one of the most distinctive and sophisticated pincushion flower varieties available for the summer border and cutting garden.
  • Unique Dark Sophistication: The moody, deeply saturated wine-red tone brings a rare dark elegance and sophistication to the summer border — pairing dramatically with silver-leafed plants, soft lavenders, and creamy whites for some of the most refined and memorable mixed planting combinations of the season.
  • Outstanding Cut Flower: The long, slender stems and dramatic, long-lasting dark flowerheads make Summer Nights an exceptional cut flower, bringing rich jewel tones and nocturnal elegance to fresh bouquets and arrangements throughout the summer season.
  • Prolific Pollinator Magnet: The intricate, nectar-rich flowerheads are highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the long summer bloom season, adding significant ecological value to its extraordinary ornamental appeal.
  • Professional Grade Root System: This plant arrives with a healthy, well-developed root system that establishes quickly and delivers reliable, prolific bloom production throughout the summer season and returns dependably each spring.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun with moderate water and excellent drainage — like all Scabiosa, Summer Nights performs best in lean to average, well-drained garden conditions and does not tolerate consistently wet or waterlogged soils. A cold-hardy perennial suited to USDA Hardiness Zones 4–9. Mature height reaches 18–24 inches with a spread of 18–24 inches. Primary bloom time runs from early summer through fall (June–September). Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous bloom production and extend the flowering season.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.
