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 2 J 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.
