Scabiosa seeds come as a mixture harvested from my own Scabiosa plants. Each packet contains a mixture of Blue Cockade, Oxford Blue, Salmon Queen, Fata Morgana, Black knight, Snow maiden and Imperial Mix (mixed tones of reds and purples).
Scabiosa atropurpurea is a hardy annual loved for its pincushion-style blooms and long flowering season. Store seed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain good germination rates. Seeds can be sown indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or directly into the garden once the soil has warmed. Lightly cover the seed, keep the soil moist, and germination usually occurs within 10–21 days. Plant in full sun with well-draining soil, spacing plants around 20–30cm apart. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous flowering, making them excellent for both pollinators and cut flowers.
30 seeds per packet.
All my seeds have been hand harvested from my cut flower garden and are not machine cleaned or screened. You may find small amounts of chaff, seed casings or other dried natural plant material mixed in with the seeds, particularly for smaller seed varieties. This will not effect the viability of the seeds. I always add a little bit of extra seed to account for any plant material.
