Blush Scabiosa

Our Blush Scabiosas are delicate and romantic blooms that evoke a sense of softness and elegance. With their gently muted pink petals and lacy, frilled edges, they embody a vintage charm and a refined, understated beauty. The flowers feature a central button-like cluster of contrasting dark stamens, which adds texture and depth to their otherwise light and airy appearance. The soft blush tone of the petals, which can range from pale pink to a deeper, almost rose-colored hue, gives these flowers a subtle warmth and sophistication. These flowers symbolize harmony, grace, and beauty, and their delicate blush color conveys feelings of sweetness, affection, and admiration. Our Blush Scabiosa pair beautifully with other soft blooms, such as peonies, ranunculus, and roses, creating romantic and harmonious compositions. They also work well in more rustic, wildflower-style bouquets when combined with greenery and more natural elements.

• Each bloom can range from 2-3 inches in diameter.

Flower Care Scabiosas:

Scabiosa, also known as pincushion flowers, are lovely blooms that can brighten any arrangement. To ensure that your cut scabiosas stay fresh and vibrant for as long as possible, here are some care tips.

1. Trim the Stems and leave the plastic straws on the stems (sometimes they arrive with straws on the stems to keep them straight while hydrating)

• Cut at an Angle: Trim the stems about 1-2 inches from the bottom using sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife. Cut at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for water absorption.
• Underwater Cutting: If possible, cut the stems underwater to prevent air bubbles from entering the stems, which can block water absorption. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.

2. Remove Foliage Below Waterline

• Gently remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in the water. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps the water clean, which will extend the life of your flowers.

3. Place in Fresh Water

• Use a Clean Vase: Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water (not too hot or cold), as warm water helps the scabiosas hydrate more efficiently.
• Add Flower Food: If you have flower food, mix it into the water as instructed. Flower food provides essential nutrients and helps prevent bacterial growth. If you dont have flower food, just plain water will do the trick.

4. Keep the Water Fresh

• Change the water everyday to keep it clear and free of bacteria. Always trim the stems slightly when changing the water to maintain hydration.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

• Keep your flowers in a cool, shaded spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Excessive heat can cause the scabiosas to wilt prematurely.

6. Maintain Proper Temperature

• Scabiosas thrive in temperatures between 65-72°F (18-22°C). Avoid placing them in cold drafts or near heating vents, as extreme temperatures can shorten their lifespan.

7. Re-cut the Stems if Needed

• If the flowers begin to droop or wilt prematurely, re-cut the stems by about 1 inch and place them back into fresh water. This can help improve water absorption and revive the flowers.
