Scabiosa 'Merlot Red'

Scabiosa atropurpurea

• Merlot coloured flowers that glow like velvet
• Profusion of 6-7cm blooms spring - autumn
• The colour and texture add interest to bouquets and design work
• Easy to grow
• Beloved by beneficial insects and pollinators

Beautiful, glowing wine-coloured flowers on strong slender stems atop easy to grow, productive plants. The abundant smaller flowers are a standout supporting bloom in cut flower displays - both in colour and pre petal burst, the “pincushion” adding structural interest . The hue of ‘Merlot Red’ is often found as an accent colour in many other blooms making it a great companion. Beloved by bees, butterflies and pollinators.

PLEASE NOTE - We have removed the seed husk which allows this seed to be used with a vacuum seeder or a direct seeding roller. It also has increased the germination rate!
