Pods & Form
Scabiosa stellata, also known as Starflower Scabiosa, is prized for its beautiful, star-shaped seed pods that emerge after the plant's soft, pincushion-like flowers have faded. These pods range from green to golden brown as they mature, adding dimension and texture to garden borders and flower beds. The intricate starburst shape of the pods makes them a popular choice for dried flower arrangements, where they can hold their shape and color for many months.

How to Grow

1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the last frost.
2. Where to Plant: Starflower Scabiosa thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It performs best in fertile, slightly alkaline soil.
3. Planting Tips: Press seeds lightly into the soil as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge.
4. Care Tips: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage fresh blooms, and let some flowers go to seed for the pods.

Starflower Scabiosa Pods are a versatile and eye-catching addition to any garden. With their star-shaped pods, they add texture and beauty to both fresh and dried floral arrangements, making them a must-have for gardeners and florists alike.
