Mr Fothergills Scabious Blue Cushion 50 Seeds

Scabious – Blue Cushion

This variety is so easy to grow. These stunning mid-blue pin cushion flowers on tall stems are a classic ‘cottage’ border plant, and are excellent for cutting, loved by butterflies and bees. This hardy annual reaches the height of 75cm.

Sow outdoors, from March-May, where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin them to 20cm apart and water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals. Flowers from June to October.
