Grandiflora Mixed is a beautiful tall Pincushion Flower producing masses of intricate, softly ruffled blooms in shades of purple, pink, peach, white and deep burgundy. Growing on slender stems reaching up to approximately 90 cm, the flowers bring height, movement and colour to cottage gardens, borders and dedicated cutting gardens.
A favourite with florists, Scabiosa produces excellent cut flowers with long, strong stems and a good vase life. The unusual pincushion-shaped blooms are also highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Plants flower over a long period, particularly when blooms are picked regularly or spent flowers are removed.
Low maintenance and easy to grow, Grandiflora Mixed performs best in full sun and well-drained soil and can be sown from autumn through spring in suitable climates.

Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow or raise in trays. Scatter seed over prepared soil and rake or press gently into the surface. Do not bury deeply, as light assists germination. Keep moist during germination and establishment.
Thin or transplant seedlings to approximately 25–30 cm apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular picking or deadheading encourages continued flowering.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
