- Color: Pink
- Season: All Year

- Pros/Cons
- Flower Care

The Good: So sweet, it’s like a crochet doily on a stem! They do not have to ‘bloom’ so they are good to go when you get’em. Very textured heads, which is nice if you’re working with a lot of roses.
The Bad: Can be curvy with droopy head. Has shorter vase life so keep in cool location away from the sun. Sometimes Scabiosa will arrive not bloomed (without petals). They still lend a gorgeous texture to bouquets, bouts, and centerpieces!
- Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water.
- Keep away from heat or sun to extend vase life.

Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point.
