DRUMSTICK SCABIOUS Scabiosa Stellata Cut Flowers Bedding Plant Fresh 60 Seeds

• flower seeds

Although a delightful plant for garden use with spherical heads, 3 or 4ins in diameter, each composed of twenty or so individual, pale blue flowers, an inch or so across, tightly packed together, it is when dried that they become rather special. These globular heads turn into creamy-white spherical posies looking as if they had been fashioned from a translucent parchment - indeed admirers may need some convincing that they are actually natural and not artificial flowers. Once convinced, the plant's identity will almost certainly be requested! 2½ft (70cm) Germination Instructions Sow indoors. Sow seeds thinly onto moist well-drained seed compost. Just cover with soil.
