Color-Rich Impact

The vivid hues and unique texture of our Scabiosa flowers create a bold visual statement in borders, beds, or floral arrangements. Group them together for a lively display or let them stand alone for a dynamic, eye-catching accent that adds lasting beauty to any flower garden.

Elegant, Airy Form

Our Pincushion’s delicate, airy blooms add a soft touch to any garden. With their fine, feathery petals and slender stems, they create a light, graceful presence. These flowers bring a subtle charm to flower arrangements or complement various landscape designs.

Long-Lasting Blooms

With our Scabiosa, enjoy weeks of extended blooms that bring vibrant color to your garden. Regular deadheading encourages more flowers, extending the display throughout the season. Their long-lasting blooms ensure your garden stays lively and full of beauty for an extended period.

Drought-Tolerant

Once established, our Scabiosa plant handles dry weather with ease, needing little water. This drought-tolerant plant grows well in low-water gardens, maintaining its color and charm while reducing the need for frequent watering, making it a practical option for gardeners.

Scabiosa (Scabiosa atropurpurea Blue Beau) - Neat compact plants with blue flowers that make you want to say, wow! This pincushion flower is named Blue Beau, but you can pick the color: blue, lavender, light purple.  No matter the name, these fully double, domed 2 inch flowers attract bees with its nectar rich flowers appearing all summer. Like other atropurpurea varieties, this 2 foot tall beauty is multi-branching and floriferous. Each dome is comprised of dozens of tiny petals, adding texture to the flowers. Deadheading prolongs blooming. Also attracts butterflies. Plant in sun to light shade in fertile, well-drained soil. 

Sow Scabiosa seeds 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. Scabiosa 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 until established.  Once plants are established, they are quite resistant to drought and need very little water.
