Scabiosa, also known as Pincushion Flower, is a versatile cut flower. With its spiky ball center and strong wiry stems, it can be used fresh or dried. At Crawford Road we have fallen in love with these unfortunately named little flowers. They are so delicate and feminine looking with the perfect amount of whimsy. Ours have grown as a perennial even through thick frosts though they are technically classed as annuals. The berry mix is made up of a beautiful fruity mix.
Approx 30 seeds per packet

| Sowing Tips |
Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow in spring after frost has passed. Barely cover as light aids germination. Transplant once seedlings are strong and soil has warmed. Pinching is optional but can encourage more branching. |
| Growing Tips |
Prefers full sun and free-draining soil. Regular harvesting will encourage continuous bloom. Remove spent blooms to prevent self-seeding if not desired. Harvest when flowers are fully coloured and have opened slightly for best vase life. Excellent vase life and long, elegant stems. |
