The Mourning Flower or Sweet Scabious is a valued cut flower, loved by bees. The attractive mixture of colours in purple, pink and white prefers a soil that is not too poor in nutrients and in the sun or half shade. For cutting the flower heads should be half open and show good colour. Ideal for cut flower growers.
