Though the pale blue, idiosyncratic flowers of this scabiosa are charming and lace-like, it's the incredible ping-pong ball seed heads that we grow this variety for. A perfect piece of geometry. Lovely used fresh in late summer arrangements to give an unexpected playful feel, and perfect in elegant dried winter designs. You'll get handfuls from one plant alone.

They grow quickly, so require potting on. Sow in late winter with a heat mat, when light levels are getting longer to get the biggest, most productive plants. Protect from hard frosts and plant out in spring. Can be direct sown in spring to flower in later summer. Or sow in modules and plant out.Big seeds, dib a hole in each cell before placing a seed in.
