Scabiosa

Scabiosa is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of meadow-like freedom and interesting structure to their flowerbeds. Straight stems rise from an unassuming basal rosette, first forming round, bead-like buds. These gradually open into delicate flowers that reliably attract bees and bumblebees. These plants thrive best in full sun and well-draining soil. You can choose perennial varieties that reliably survive the winter or richly blooming annuals in vibrant colors. Whether you try sowing from seeds or prefer to go for ready-made seedlings, Scabiosa will quickly settle into your garden. Besides looking great outdoors, they are also popular as cut flowers. Their straight stems are easy to arrange in vases. Here at Loukykvět, we also like to let some of the plants finish flowering. They leave behind firm, round seed heads that are perfect for drying and using in dried arrangements.
