Scabiosa japonica is a species of flowering plant in the pincushion flower genus Scabiosa (family Caprifoliaceae), native to central and southern Japan, and introduced to the Dominican Republic.[1] A biennial or short-lived perennial reaching 10 to 50 cm (4 to 20 in), the Royal Horticultural Society considers it a good plant to attract pollinators.[2] A number of cultivars are commercially available, including 'Blue Note', 'Blue Star', 'Blue Diamonds', 'Ritz Blue', and 'Ritz Rose'.[3][4][5][6][7]
