Scabiosa Atropurpurea - Double Rose. This plant is glamorous and long-flowering with a sweet delicious scent that resembles honey and marshmallows. Although the plant is an annual drama queen, it is also a tough and hardy garden performer. It grows quickly and flowers fast on long straight stems. The flowers tout delicate petals of sumptuous pink that surround a bowl-shaped dark center cushion with a sharp contrast of white stamens that resemble pins. You will enjoy these beautiful aromatic flowers from early summer to late autumn as will the hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other friends of the garden. A very easy plant to grow and care for with a ridiculous amount of blooms it gives you in return. Keep the flowers cut or remove the spent flowers to promote and lengthen blooming time. You can also deadhead if you don't want self-sowing. Commonly used for cutting, drying, pressing, arrangements, borders, beds, cottage and informal gardens and wildflower meadows. Great for potted plants as well.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
