Sowing instructions:

Scabiosa is a light germinator, which means that you do not need to cover the seeds with soil. Spread the small seeds, which resemble miniature badminton feathers, evenly over the soil and press them down gently. Make sure to keep the soil moist, but avoid over-wetting. You can choose to pre-sow the seeds in pots or seed trays, or sow them directly in the open ground. Under the right conditions, the seeds will start to germinate within an average of 7 to 10 days.
