I winter sowed these and they turned out beautiful! I haven’t gotten any purples or whites but the reds and pinks are gorgeous!

While I these all germinated and bloomed nicely, I had the same experience with them only being white and white was the only color in the mix I didn’t want

The plants are super healthy, but I only got white flowers and this was supposed to be a mix. I planted 15 plants, so I think their mix was mislabeled. The bumble bees are loving the flowers though.

Scabiosa Seeds - Tall Double Mix
Store owner replied: Hello Vero. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Scabiosa can sometimes be sensitive to soil temperature and moisture consistency during germination, but we certainly understand how frustrating results like this can be. We’re glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide a resolution. We truly appreciate the opportunity to make things right and remain committed to supporting you toward a successful growing season!
As others mentioned, I also only had white flowers last season. And they took a long time to bloom, so that was a bit disappointing. I have a lot of seed left (I purchased the large 1 oz bag!) and would like to try to plant scabiosa again, but it seems this seed mix only grows white flowers. Eden brothers, can you resend me a true mix?

Began these indoors to get a head start on growing. Nothing germinated, hopeful the second try outdoors goes better but am not hopeful.
