Scabious caucasica Mix
We're very excited to offer this productive, useful, in fact, essential plants on the farm. We grow row upon row, literally hundreds! We started out with the excellent but expensive Fama and Perfecta seed and then we've let the Bees get on with it! So we can now offer a mix that covers all the classic Scabious colours from white, through lilac to deep blue. Loved by Bees. It's important to dead head frequently and don't just nip the spent flowers off, cut the stems to the base, that way you'll get a season of stunning and very saleable flowers. Divide every two or three years to keep their initial vigour.
