Organic Scabiosa «Black & White»
A lovely addition for any garden and so easy to establish from Scabiosa seed. Also known as Pincushion Flower, this deep Black & White variety makes and excellent cut flower, and the supply of blooms to cut will last throughout the entire summer.
The more you cut, they more they produce! Scabiosa Pincushion is used for border plantings most of the time, but they can also be placed anywhere in the garden to enhance its look. Black & White Pincushion Flower blooms have a delightful, soft scent that lasts all summer, and the butterflies will visit the garden often!
Sow Scabiosa seed indoors 10 weeks before the desired planting date. Sow the seeds and press the Pincushion flower seeds gently into the starter mix. Keep the seed moist until germination. Black & White Pincushion Flower seeds can also be sown directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed, but they will be very late to bloom.
Sow the Pincushion seeds into well-draining soil that has been loosened and weeded. Sow the flower seeds in groups of 3 - 4 spaced 12 - 18 inches apart. Gently press the seed into the soil and keep it moist. Scabiosa flower care includes deadheading the spent blooms to promote continual flowering. Do not over water, but rather let the Black & White Pincushion plant dry out in-between waterings. Over-fertilizing will result in few blooms, so do not fertilize unless the soil is very poor.
