I have grown this for many years. It blooms
almost nonstop from early summer until after the first frost! I have some
that I deadhead religiously and some that don't get much attentionl They
both seem to do equally well. I really think you get a much hardier plant
if you divide them every couple of years. They like full sun, humusy and
well-drained soil. There is another cultivar, Scabiosa caucasica 'Fama'
which has flowers about 3 inches across. Puts on a better show.
Flowers are also good for cutting--lasting for a long time!
