Scabiosa stellata | Starball

Scabiosa stellata | Starball

4 for $20
Also known as Paper Moons or Star Flowers. The flower of this Scabiosa species is a subtle beauty, soft dusty powdery blue outer petals with a cream flecked with pink ‘pincushion’ center. But it's the next stage of growth these plants are prized for. When the flowers yield to seedheads, the meaning of its name, ‘star-ball’, becomes abundantly clear. The seedheads appear as perfect papery spheres floating on long wiry stems, with the dimpled centers of each seed in the head revealing a perfect 5-pointed star. Indeed, it is the seed head that this variety is best known for, and it is fantastic for adding a sculptural element of intrigue to posies and arrangements. Try a single stem in a tiny vase or a dozen as a stand-alone bouquet. They are sure to draw appreciative comments. Essentially already dry when harvested, they’ll last for months in a waterless vase.
