How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

This variety generally has no issues with pests or diseases.

Water lightly

Water to keep the ground consistently moist during the plant's first year as it is establishing itself. This can require watering several times a week during hot and dry periods. Once the plant has established itself it will be far more drought tolerant.

Full Sun

Position where the plant will receive around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day.

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Scabiosa do well in any fertile, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or often becomes waterlogged then you can improve the drainage by digging in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost as well as some perlite or gravel.

Feeding not required

Scabiosa does not need feeding, but would benefit from a deep, dry mulch in winter to retain the soil's moisture and reduce weeds.
