Scabiosa Seeds – Pincushion Imperial Mix

Scabiosa caucasica

Double three inch flowers in rose, pink, purple, lavender, maroon, and white appear from summer to frost! Excellent for cut flowers with nice long stems growing 30″ to 40″, this cut and come again flower will produce more buds the more that it is cut. Fragrance smells like fresh honey. Very attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds too! Birds eat the ripe seeds in the fall.

Direct seed or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Scabiosa will need full sun and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, scabiosa will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for flowers. Annual but can be perennial in zones 9-10.
