Black Knight Scabiosa

Black Knight Scabiosa (Scabiosa atropurpurea) is a striking, tall annual that produces deep, velvety maroon-black blooms atop strong, slender stems. The rich, dramatic color and soft pincushion form make it a favorite among flower farmers, florists, and gardeners alike.

Each long-lasting bloom adds depth and contrast to bouquets and garden beds, while its fragrance and nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Black Knight is ideal for both fresh and dried floral arrangements and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.

Notes:

• Perfect for high-end floral designs and bouquet contrast.

• Continuous blooms through summer with regular deadheading.

• Performs best in full sun with moderate fertility and consistent moisture.

• Excellent pollinator plant for naturalistic or cottage gardens.

• Reliable producer for both home gardeners and commercial growers.
