Annual Scabiosa © 
Mourning Bride, Sweet Scabious, Pincushion Flower 
These are great favorites with many of our customers. Seed can 
be sown any time in the spring after danger of frost is past. They 
grow 23 to 3 feet high and come into bloom early in July, continuing 
without interruption until hard frost. The beautiful flowers, noted 
for their exquisite shades, are borne on long stems. When cut they 
keep in perfect condition for the best part of a week. They make 
effective borders or beds, and no garden is complete without 
Scabiosas, especially where flowers are wanted for cutting.
