Also known as Starflower Scabious or 'Sternkugel', this is a gorgeous mini-work of art.

It is so unusual and hardworking. First, it is truly beautiful as a delicate, pale blue flower which the bees adore and it makes a wonderful cut flower. But leave the flowers and something magical happens, as it becomes an unbelievably stunning seed head....little spheres of otherworldly loveliness.

You can cut and keep the seed heads for dried flower arrangements and if you spray them lightly with hairspray they will last months if not years. I love to use them as beautiful, interesting table decorations.
