Scabiosa Focal Scoop™ are only available through specialty nurseries for cut flower growers. Take advantage of this opportunity to add something truly special to your garden.
Focal Scoop™ is bigger the Scoop™ series (flowers up to 10cm across), on longer and stronger stems. Those who have had trouble with necks snapping off (indicative of a Calcium issue) may have better luck with this new line from the folks at Danziger.
They are patent protected and propagation is strictly prohibited. Got it? We only get amazing new varieties like these if we play by the rules and give the breeders their share (which they clearly deserve).
Plugs sourced from Gro ‘n Sell/Farmer Bailey and then lovingly grown to have a larger root ball filling a 3.5” deep pot.
Specs:
3.5” deep pot
Common Name
Scabiosa
Genus
Scabiosa
Species
Hybrid of S. atropurpurea and S. caucasica
Family
Caprifoliaceae
Life Cycle
Tender perennial, usually treated as annual.
Netting / Staking
1 layer of support netting.
Temperature Range
32 to 80F
Spacing
2 rows per bed, 12" between plants. These get very large.
Soil Preference
Well drained soil of medium fertility.
Day Length
Facultative long day.
Pinching
Yes. Plugs will likely be pinched on arrival. If not, pinch out the tip once growth resumes after transplant.
When to Plant
Fall or spring, when soil is cool (below 55F). They prefer cool frost free conditions.
Harvesting
These are extremely productive, easily producing 20-30 stems per plant. Harvest when 1/3 of the florets are open, or when the first ring of florets has opened around the outside of the flower.
Post Harvest Care
A holding solution will increase vase life.
Diseases / Insects
No major issues in most settings.
Bailey's Notes
Scoop Scabiosa have revolutionized the use of Scabiosa in the cut flower world. They are larger and longer lasting than their predecessors. The main complaint is that they are TOO productive. Keep spent flowers cut off to encourage more bloom production. In hot summer locations, the plants may stop production for a couple months and then regrow as autumn temperatures settle in. Cut back the plant to a few inches and allow to regrow.
