Cephalaria alpina, commonly known as the yellow cephalaria, alpine scabious or yellow scabious, produces soft-yellow scabiosa-like flowerheads from June until August. Easy to care for and suitable for natural plantings. Will self sow in suitable locations. Attracts butterflies and other pollinators. The plants are very hardy, and native to the Alps in Europe.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 4-7
Height: 60", 150cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 5
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22°C (68-72°F) for them to germinate. Germination is irregular over a long period of time, generally 60-90 days, but some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
