Field Scabious, 1 g - Approx. 150 Seeds

I have a prepared planter about 5ft x 2ft and the coverage was enough to fill it. Growth is already obvious, no apparent patches and all seems to be progressing nicely despite the cold UK weather. I may update this post at a later date once the scabious have flowered.

This is a good value packet of 4000 seeds, ideal for sowing in Spring for hopefully blooms later in the year. These don't require any preparation, just raking into prepared soil and as I enjoy the wild flower look and opt for perennials, especially those hardy to colder weather, these seemed ideal.I'll be getting these in this month as the seeds seem good quality, from a small UK family run company , i'm hopeful for good results. These arrived well packaged with no damage. I recommend so far!

These seeds are a Perennial Field/Meadow type wild Scabious flower. They produce an abundance of beautiful mauve and blue-lilac coloured flowers on long stems. They can be sown in Spring or early Autumn time and they have a long flowering period. Best planted in full sun but will flower and tolerate more shady conditions.The seeds I received were good quality and looking forward to seeing their flower display.

I enjoy a natural, wildlife‑friendly garden, so these Scabious seeds immediately appealed to me. The packet has a lovely watercolour illustration that gives it a gentle, nature‑focused feel, and it made me think the brand really values the relationship between plants and wildlife.I hadn’t heard of Roselyn Seeds before, so I looked them up and was pleased to find they’re a small, family‑run business in Yorkshire. Knowing the seeds come from UK‑grown plants makes me feel confident they’ll do well in my garden, and I like supporting a smaller company that feels more hands‑on with quality. At £4.99 for around 4,000 seeds, I think the price is fair.The sowing instructions on the back are clear and very beginner‑friendly. All I need to do is prepare the soil, scatter the seeds, rake them in and water—no greenhouse, no potting on, no fuss. Sown in mid to late spring, they should germinate within a couple of weeks. If I sow early enough, I might get flowers this year; if not, I’ll get foliage now and blooms next spring. With so many seeds, I can even split them between spring and autumn sowing for staggered flowering.Overall, I’m really looking forward to seeing these pretty, pollinator‑friendly flowers brighten up my garden and attract some early‑season wildlife.

I nostalgically remembered these lovely little purple flowers from my childhood and thought it would be nice to grow some now. They come in a generic flowery packet so I will highlight the flower type on the back to make it more obvious as I also have some other seeds (same design on the front of the packet) of a different type. There are around 150 seeds in the packet, and the instructions seem clear and warn that germination can be slow and erratic. The resulting plants should flower the year after planting so they're not a quick solution to an empty flower bed, but as they are perennials, should then continue to flower each year. The packet says they flower on tall stems, and it would have been nice to have an idea of how tall "tall" is so I'd know where best to plant them in my borders. Either way, I'm looking forward to planting them.
