About: The beautiful Scabiosa is easy to grow, and although it is an annual in our growing zone 3, it can sometimes be grown as a tender perennial (being somewhat unreliable in how it regrows). It is a compact plant with small round "pincushion" shaped white flowers, that attract pollinators. The flowers are used in bouquets as fresh or dried.
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and barely cover with soil as light is needed to help germinate. Transplant when 3-5 inches tall. Plant seedlings out after risk of last frost is over. Plants can benefit from staking if they grow tall enough.
Organically grown here at Swallowtail Farmstead.
