Drumstick Scabiosa seeds

Scabiosa stellata

Light blue flowers are followed by pincushion seedheads that look striking in a flower arrangement.

Sowing instructions:

Can be direct sown outdoors September to October, or sown in punnets 4-6 weeks prior.

Seed should be sown on the surface and barely covered with soil – they need light to germinate. Plant 30cm apart. Keep seeds moist.

Plant information:

Seedlings emerge 10-20 days after sowing.

Plants grow up to 60cm tall and 30cm wide (depending on plant spacing).

Plants flower in 75-80 days, and then seedheads will form after that.

Pinching growing tips out will make the plant bushier and produce more flowers

Approx 15 seeds in a packet.
