Giant Scabiosa are perennials native from central to sout-eastern Europe eastwards to Asia. Most species make basal, large rosettes with long, serrated leaves, out of which the annual, upright growing, tall stalks are born, crowned with white to cream-yellow, flat, Scabiosa like flower heads. They are easily grown in any rich, slightly moist, well drained soil in a sunny position.
Sow from autumn to early summer, transplant seedlings on their fourth pair of leaves.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6.
