Start Annual Scabiosa seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover sparingly. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days.

After your last frost date, transplant seedlings into a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
