Scabiosa Merlot Red showcases a distinctive dark wine coloration that sets it apart within the scabiosa genus, delivering sophisticated elegance to both garden beds and floral arrangements. The pincushion-form blooms measure 1½ to 2½ inches across, rising on strong, slender stems that reach 26 to 36 inches—ideal proportions for cutting and display. Known traditionally as mourning bride, this cultivar combines whimsical charm with refined aesthetic appeal, making it equally at home in casual cottage gardens or structured landscape designs. The productive plant habit ensures abundant flowering throughout the season, with blooms appearing approximately 100 days after planting. The consistent stem quality and flower production support successive harvests for fresh arrangements or dried preservation. These 50 non-GMO heirloom seeds arrive with a germination rate of 60% or better, reflecting the natural vigor of heritage varieties. Sustainably sourced and responsibly packaged, Merlot Red represents an excellent choice for gardeners seeking distinctive color depth, reliable performance, and the practical versatility of a proven cutting flower.
