Scabiosa atropurpurea ‘Fata Morgana’ seeds – (Pincushion Flower)

Description

This plant has lovely soft very pale cream pincushion flowers , which are often tinged with pale apricot, on long strong thin stems for picking,  above a bushy plant which does well in the garden. It makes
a lovely soft addition to bouquets adding an old world look, and performs well in the garden also. Fata Morgana means a mirage, and the flowers of this plant seem  to float in the evening against the background a little like a mirage.

Sowing advice

Sow in Spring and Summer in seed trays or pots
Sow into a moist well-drained seed compost. Cover very thinly as the seeds need light to germinate. Propagate at 18 -23 deg C. Germination takes 5-14 days. Transplant seedlings once large enough at 35-40 cm apart after danger of frost has passed.
