Scabiosa Black Knight

Black Knight Scabiosa seeds produce striking perennials featuring distinctive pincushion-like blooms in an unusual deep burgundy-purple so intense they appear nearly black. This sophisticated variety reaches 24-30 inches tall with slender stems and finely dissected foliage, creating an elegant vertical presence. The dramatic flowers feature contrasting pale stamens that enhance their dimensional quality and visual impact. Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil of moderate fertility. Deadheading extends the naturally long blooming period from early summer through fall. Exceptional for contemporary gardens, cutting gardens, and pollinator plantings where their unique coloration provides dramatic contrast while attracting numerous beneficial insects.
