Scabiosa atropurpurea 'Summer Fruits'

A mix of pink and dark red scabiosa floating in the wind. Very good garden plant because of its success with pollinators, but also an excellent picking flower.

Sowing instructions
Scabiosa or doveweed is a light germinator. So you don't cover the seeds with a layer of soil. Place the seeds, which are like little badminton tufts, on the ground, press lightly and water. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. Pre-sow in pots or seed trays, or sow directly in the garden. Scabiosa germinates after an average of 7 to 10 days under the right conditions.
