About Scabiosa Seeds - Black Knight

Scabiosa atropurpurea

Also known as Pincushion Flower

Scabiosa, the newest darling of the cut flower industry, has come out with some incredibly fun colors, namely Black Knight Scabiosa. This deepest maroon, near black button-shape blossom is both exotic and versatile. Long stems support a pretty mound of petals that when faded, give the stem a second life. The seedpods are just as interesting as the fresh flower, as both find the opportunity to shine in the garden and vase.
