Pincushion Flower 'Black Knight'
Scabiosa atropupurea 'Black Knight'

Among the most dramatic, long-lasting and early-blooming flowers we grow as well as the most intense deep and very dark maroon/black blooms highlighted with speckles of whitish-pink on their long stamens. They have a mildly sweet smell and keep on blooming from late spring through early fall provided you cut spent flowers. Tall and graceful at 3-4’, they have long, strong stems perfect for bouquets. One the favorite cut flowers ideal for any type of bouquet and a lovely addition to your bee buffet!
