• Plant Characteristics: This annual ornamental plant boasts a charming height of approximately 70cm (27.5 in), showcasing vintage creamy apricot pincushion flower heads that lend it its endearing nickname. With a blooming period extending from summer all the way through frost, you'll enjoy its beauty for an extended season. Not only do its long stems make for stunning fresh cut flowers, but the dried seed heads also add a unique touch to floral arrangements.
• Pollinator Friendly: Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Scabiosa Atropurpurea 'Fata Morgana' is a magnet for beneficial garden visitors.

Additionally, the plant produces seeds that serve as a food source for birds, further enhancing its ecological value.
• Adaptability and Care: To thrive, this variety prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location. During prolonged dry spells, provide adequate water, but refrain from over-fertilizing as it can inhibit flowering.

• Planting Instructions: Planting Scabiosa Atropurpurea 'Fata Morgana' is a straightforward process. Begin by sowing the seeds in pots or trays filled with moist seed compost, covering them lightly with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Maintain moderate soil moisture during germination, which typically takes 7 to 10 days at temperatures ranging from 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F). Once the seedlings are sufficiently developed, transplant them into small pots to allow for further growth and development.
