Over Autumn and Winter i will share as many tips as i can to help you germinate and grow,some i have learnt from the mistakes I have made and still make,gardening is a forever language of learning&understanding,this first little tip is for anyone who loves growing Scabiosa,this flower was introduced to me by my lovely friend who is always introducing me to beautiful species of flowers,if you have scabiosa in your garden allow the spent heads to go brown before collecting them then after a period of weeks drying them out in a paper bag collect the seeds,if you are planting out in autumn then this tip doesn't apply but if like me you plant out in spring then 1 to 2 weeks before you sow your seeds place the seeds in the fridge,scabiosa seeds like a cold snap,it wakes the seeds up for better germination,it's called a "fake winter" and you will reap the rewards with hopefully an abundance of these beautiful flowers π
