Scabiosa japonica, a biennial growing to 60-90cm in height, inhabits
grasslands in mountainous areas, whose radical leaves pass the
winter as a rosette. Not only the radical leaves, but the others are
pinnate as well. Tips of stems grow long to develop into peduncles,
and the ends bear purple head flowers, each measuring 4cm in
diameter. Blooming time: August-October.
