    Giant scabious, Cephalaria gigantea

    Gant scabious.   Lovely big plant and great for pollinators.   Only flowers once in my experience but still looks good when dead headed - tho I would leave a few flowers on mine to collect seed.

    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

    I thought the seed heads looked pretty nice too.  There were so many flowers on there
