Scabiosa Pincushion Flower Black Knight HEIRLOOM Seeds
Scabiosa atropurpurea
Item #1325
Annual. This almost-black beauty is equally at home in formal and cottage gardens. Scabiosa blooms for an exceptionally long time, and is very attractive to bees and butterflies. Long stems are great for fresh cut flowers. Dried seed heads also add interest to flower arrangements. A top-notch garden cultivar since the 1600s when it was known as 'Blackmoor's Beauty' or 'Mournful Widow'. Usually grown as an annual, although perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer.
