Care tips
When receiving fresh Scabiosa, remove any leaves below the waterline and recut the stems at an angle using clean, sharp tools. Place them in lukewarm water with floral preservative and let them hydrate in a cool, shaded place for a few hours. Due to their delicate stems, support is important in arrangements to avoid bending. To extend vase life (5–7 days), change the water daily, recut the stems every 2–3 days, and keep the flowers away from heat, sunlight, and fruit.
