Scabiosa Fire King, traditionally known as mourning-bride, produces sophisticated deep scarlet flowers measuring 1½ to 2½ inches across, commanding attention through their jewel-toned intensity and refined pincushion form. The tall, slender stems reaching 24 to 36 inches provide exceptional cutting length, making this cultivar equally valuable for garden display and professional floral design applications. The elongated bloom window—approximately 100 days to flowering—ensures sustained color production through mid to late season. Fire King's striking scarlet hue creates dramatic focal points in mixed borders while offering compelling contrast against cooler-toned companion plantings. The consistent stem quality and flower production support both single-stem arrangements and massed plantings with equal success. These 50 non-GMO heirloom seeds carry a germination rate of 50% or better, reflecting the natural variability inherent in heritage cultivars. Sustainably cultivated and thoughtfully packaged with environmental responsibility in mind, Fire King represents an excellent choice for gardeners seeking refined color sophistication and reliable performance across diverse growing conditions.
