PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Scabiosa (scabiosa stellata, scabious flower, pincushion flower, starflower)
Scabiosa atropurpurea 'Fata Morgana' has fully double, lightly scented pin cushion flower heads. Its unique, antique creamy apricot shade with hints of pink set Fata Morgana apart as a romantic, windswept wildflower. Scabiosa makes excellent cut flowers because of their long vase life. Scabiosa Fata Morgana works great as a filler for borders.
It prefers in full sun and well-drained soil but can deal with some shade. Cut or deadhead blooms to prolong flowering or leave on so that the plant will self-seed. The birds also love scabiosa seeds!
