See this content in the original post

In this video, I’m here to share some design tips for scabiosa. Scabiosa is also known as “pincushion flower” and comes in a variety of colors: crimson, raspberry, salmon, lilac, black, white, and yellow. There are so many different varieties to choose from, and they can be found as both annual or perennial flowers.

Scabiosa sometimes grow with wonky-looking stems which make them a perfect bloom to use as little floaters and dancers to create depth and various levels in your arrangement. When the flower blooms out, it turns into a pretty seed pod and adds a fantastic texture piece in any arrangement.
