I missed the flowering of this plant. It's in a client's garden and she forgot to take photos, but says they were blue and in June. Can anyone identify it by the leaves and seed heads? A perennial making a small clump, with slender leaves and stems, about a foot high, and has been growing in this pot for two or three years without increasing in size much. Deciduous, but I think some of the basal leaves may stay green. Looks like a scabiosa to me, except that the leaves look different from any I know.
