Scabiosa Seeds
Scabiosa caucasica
This is such a beautiful and interesting flower....See pic for volume of seeds for trade - I figure one of these envelopes (16.5 by 9cm) posted should be a good trade giving loads of seeds. I wont take them off the flower head to trade (too much work) but you can see the seeds in the pic. I harvested these seeds in March 2017 and sowed them 30 Sept and now have some lovely new seedlings - (see this pic too), so I am confident the seeds are good to go. The flowers are just great in the garden and the plant we had was over a metre tall - we had so many flowers of varied in colour (see pics of last summer's flowers) I took this off a description on a web page selling seeds - "These perennial Scabiosas produce large flowers with delightful fluffy centres in shades of Lavender, Lilac and White. Long flowering and a very good cut flower. Maturity second season from transplant." I figure for a trade we could just cover the postage each way :-). I am interested in any seedling you may have to trade - let me know. I also have loads of other flower seeds so let me know what you'd like - I may have it :-)

ohh forgot to say …I am open to whatever dahlias you might like to suggest
Hi Angel, I read online they dont like the cold, so….maybe not…you could give them a whirl if you like…I’ll just send you some seed. You can just send a self addressed envelope and I’ll send you some.
Do they grow ok in colder area?
If so am keen.
What kind of dahlias you into?
The bees and butterflies love these plants too.Good to grow for them.
