Scabiosa Starball

Botanical Name: Scabiosa stellata

A dried flower beauty and also a delightful plant for garden displays. This Scabiosa produces 20-30cm stems along with spherical heads, 7.5-10cm in diameter, each composed of soft Lavender Blue flowers tightly packed together. These quickly mature and fall, leaving a rather beautiful globular head to turn into a fascinating, many faceted, burnished bronze flower ball which looks as if it has been fashioned from translucent parchment. The flower heads should be picked as the last petals fall off.

Annual; 18 degrees; 7-14 days; 70cm height; 30cm apart; Full Sun; 1.2.3; 50 seeds; Dried Flower; Border Plant.
