What we love most about scabiosas is that their fresh appearance looks nothing like their dried appearance, and both are equally beautiful! Scabiosa Seeds Fama Deep Blue produce large, deep blueish purple blossoms that stretch up to four inches across. With a sweet fragrance, they beckon butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, not to mention you as the gardener. Even though this is a perennial, expect blooms early to late summer in its first growing year!
