Each bloom is a perfectly domed pincushion of pure white florets, delicately ruffled at the edges, with tiny white stamens that give the flower a soft, luminous quality in the garden and the vase. Held on long, wiry stems, this has an airy elegance that makes it one of the most versatile and sought-after white annuals for the cutting patch. It combines beautifully with almost everything — from deep purples and rich pinks to soft pastels and other whites — and it is irresistible to bees and butterflies throughout the season.

Sow onto moist seed-raising mix and cover lightly. Thin or transplant seedlings to 30 cm apart. Scabiosa prefers a sunny position with well-drained, preferably alkaline soil — add a little lime if your soil is acidic. It is quite drought tolerant once established and performs well across most NZ regions. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering; the more you cut, the more it blooms. A beautiful companion for roses, sweet peas, cosmos, and dark-flowered annuals where the white blooms really sing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e8 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Pincushion Flower white (\u003cem\u003eScabiosa atropurpurea\u003c\/em\u003e), with growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📄 Want the full growing guide?
