Short Tip
Provide full sun and well-drained soil to encourage healthy growth and abundant buds.
Scabiosa stellata 'Drumsticks', commonly known as Drumstick Scabious or Starflower Scabious, is an unusual annual prized as much for its extraordinary seed heads as for its flowers. Delicate pale blue pincushion-like blooms are carried on slender branching stems during summer, creating a graceful and airy display in sunny borders and cutting gardens.
After flowering, the real show begins. Each flower develops into a distinctive spherical seed head formed from numerous papery, star-centred bracts, gradually maturing through pale green and silvery cream to warm bronze and parchment tones. These architectural globes are exceptionally attractive when dried and retain their shape beautifully, making Drumstick Scabious a favourite for dried bouquets, wreaths and everlasting floral arrangements.
● Extraordinary spherical, papery seed heads with intricate star-like detailing
● Excellent for both fresh and dried flower arrangements
● Delicate pale blue flowers provide summer interest before the seed heads develop
● Architectural seed heads mature into beautiful cream, bronze and parchment tones
● Unusual cut flower variety that adds texture and structure to bouquets
● Dried flower arrangements
● Cut flower gardens
● Cottage gardens
● Everlasting bouquets and wreaths
● Sunny borders and naturalistic planting
● Grow in full sun and freely draining soil; heavy, persistently wet ground can reduce plant performance and encourage rotting.
● For the best dried material, allow the distinctive spherical seed heads to develop fully but cut them before they become so mature that individual sections begin to loosen and fall apart.
● Cut seed heads with long stems and hang them upside down in a dry, airy place to finish drying for everlasting arrangements.
● Avoid excessive feeding or overly rich soil, which can encourage soft, leafy growth at the expense of strong flowering stems.
● In exposed gardens, provide discreet support if necessary, as the slender flowering stems can be damaged or bent by strong wind.
