Knautia arvensis (Field Scabious) [15 Seeds]
$4.25
Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, because they may require some patience. The easiest approach is to surface-sow (do not cover) the seeds in fall to late winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can germinate when conditions are right in spring.
If you sow after February, consider giving the pot an artificial chilling period of about a month.
It is possible that these seeds could germinate if you sow them in warm, moist, bright conditions. But if you try that and no seedlings appear within 3 weeks or so, then try the artificial-chilling approach above before moving them back to warmth and light.
Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Description
Field scabious (Knautia arvensis) forms broad, loose clumps of slender, 3- to 4-foot-tall, branching stems that carry clustered blooms in shades of pink to purplish pink from early or midsummer into fall. It’s adaptable, colorful, and long-blooming and makes a good airy filler in a bed or border; just keep in mind that it is likely to self-sow if not deadheaded. (There are so many blooms that I usually wait until the first flush of flowers is starting to finish, then shear the plants back by about half its height to remove all of the spent blossoms; it then flowers again in late summer to early fall.) Full sun for best flowering. Perennial; Zones 5 to 9.
Collected in July and August 2022. At least 15 seeds.
