Scabiosa, Starflower

Scabiosa stellata  (80 days)

A texture lover’s dream, the Starflower is actually a seed pod.  Very diminutive petals quickly senesce to reveal a swelling, globe-like center with many papery transparent seeds all distinguished with a small black star at the center.  These are so fun fresh or dried, and they are also an eye-catching addition to the annual border.  A tender perennial that grows up to 30”; space 12” apart.  

Packet: ( 1/2g ~20 seeds)
