Burpee’s Improved Giant Hybrids Scabiosa 
Sweet Scabiosa 
Known as the Pincushion Flower because the stamens of some 
varieties are light in color and stick out in contrast to the petals 
so that they resemble pins stuck in a cushion. The deep black 
color of one variety has caused it to be called Mourning Bride. 
Does well in widely different kinds of soil. Blooms from midsummer 
until frost if flowers are not allowed to go to seed. Last well when cut.
