Scabiosa - Fama White

One of my favorite flowers to put in bouquets, Scabiosa plays double duty in the garden. I like to use it for not only for its large whimsical flowers but also the pods. When flowers are left on the plant a fun pod forms that adds texture and a little something different to bouquets and arrangements.

Planting: Start your seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Surface sow seeds barely covering them with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Plant out after the danger of frost has passed. 100-140 days to maturity.

Harvesting: Stems can be harvested at 3 different stages depending on what your needs are. Immature flowers can be cut just as a bit of color is starting to show. Mature flowers can be harvested when in full bloom or if you want the pods let the petals fall.
