Description

Grow this variety of scabious for its glamorous, papery globe seed heads which are beautiful and delicate fresh, but also dry.

You can spray them lightly with hairspray to make them more robust. Self-seed gently at the front of a border from one year to the next.

Care Tips

Grow in well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. As well as the cutting garden they also work well among a range of plants in a mixed herbaceous border.
