They were certainly 4ft tall and thriving in Mother\u2019s Northamptonshire front garden. I couldn\u2019t find any pink Scabious that grew that tall so she kindly gathered seed and let me have a handful. I put them away in my seed tin and promptly forgot about them until sorting through the tin in the Spring of 2017. By then my Mother had died so it seemed appropriate to give them a go. Lo and behold I have a goodly many plants now, all nameless officially so I\u2019ve called them Scabious \u201cEileen\u2019s Pink\u201d after my Mother. I shall of course plant some in the garden at\u00a0<a title=\"Lewis Cottage\" href=\"http:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/welcome\/\">Lewis Cottage<\/a>\u00a0but will be left with at least 50 plants to sell here on the website and on our\u00a0<a title=\"NGS Open Days\" href=\"http:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/garden-tours\/\">NGS open days<\/a>\u00a0.
