Product Description
Pincushion Flower Starflower
Scabiosa stellata
Tall, heavily branched plants have silvery foliage topped with sturdy, smoky periwinkle florets with a silvery center. Once blooms give way, they leave behind light brown orb-shaped seedpods that are great for drying and adding texture to arrangements. This productive bloomer is extremely versatile and a great garden plant.

How to Grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 4-6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Seeds need light to germinate; barely cover with soil.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
For longest vase life, flowers should be harvested when they are still in the bud stage or just partially open. Fresh flowers will last 7-10 days in the vase, and flower preservative is recommended. To dry, harvest when seed heads are light green and centers are turning black. If harvested beyond this point the seed heads will fall apart.
