Pincushion

Some flower species look great even after blooming, and we harvest them on the farm too. But Scabiosa, Scabiosa is so beautiful that there is even a species not grown for the flower, but for drying as a pod. Scabiosa stellata blooms white, but it pays to persist and not harvest the flowers; what comes after them is much more beautiful than the flower. At the end of straight and strong stems are seeds arranged in a perfect little ball. Suitable for drying. For drying, we harvest mature seed heads, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.
