Fata Morgana Scabiosa Seeds
A Fata Morgana is an optical illusion in which a ship way out at sea appears to be floating in the sky over the horizon. Bent light, like a mirage, etc. Very cool. You can look it up later. Anyway, we're digging the haunting, honey-scented, vintage feel of these buttercream buff-white counterparts to the Black Knight Scabiosa.
Scabiosa are an easy to grow and dependable burst of color. Sturdy little flowers on long stems rise above a pretty mound of foliage, and have a cottage garden feel with an urban edge.Includes 50 seeds.
