Don't let that put you off, since a prettier flower it's hard to imagine. Perhaps we should stick with the common name 'pincushion flower,' given because its protruding stamens resemble pins in a cushion. Scabious blooms throughout the summer in a mixture of vibrant colours, bringing lightness and grace to borders and flower beds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFranchi's Vintage seed range is taken from the Franchi 1928 retail seed catalogue.
