Scabiosa caucasica (Caucasian Pincushion Flower) - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
Allow 10–12 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).
SOWING:
Transplants are recommended: sow 6–8 weeks before planting out, barely covering the seed since it needs light to germinate. Move seedlings to cell packs when the first true leaves appear and grow them in the greenhouse at 60–65°F (16–18°C); cooler conditions can trigger early flowering and weaker plants in the garden. Harden off and plant out after the last frost.

Full sun to partial shade.
PLANT HEIGHT:
Grows about 26–30" tall.
PLANT SPACING:
Space plants 12–18" apart.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Zones 3–7; plants usually live about 3 years.

For fresh use, cut in bud or when about half open.

Rich soil with good drainage.

A superb cut flower for the back of beds and borders, or in containers.
