NEW ARRIVAL for 2025

Scabiosa atropurpurea

This almost-black beauty is equally at home in formal and cottage gardens. Scabiosa blooms for an exceptionally long time, is fairly drought tolerant, and is very attractive to bees and butterflies. Long stems are great for fresh cut flowers.

Dried seed heads also add interest to flower arrangements. A top-notch garden cultivar since the 1600s when it was known as 'Blackmoor's Beauty' or 'Mournful Widow'.

Contains 30 heirloom seeds

Growing Tips: Direct sow soon after last spring frost. Requires full sun, rich soil, and moderate moisture to attain perfection. Cut frequently or remove spent flowers for highest production.

Your seeds always produce! Wonderful!

Great ! Best seeds Ive found!

Fun!

The shape of these guys is fun! The pods are light for their size and each is unique in color. I didn’t get a great harvest but I had them in a container. I will grow them again next season in a bed.

The flowers smell so amazing!

This Moranga squash has huge leaves and absolutely lovely scented flowers, that the bee's go crazy for! First time growing this in my fall Texas zone 10 garden. Sowed two seeds, but only one plant survived. Turns out you only need one for a small garden, this one plant has taken over about 17 feet of space! Can't wait to try this squash, I highly recommend this, even if just to bring the bee's to your garden.

Best seed quality by far

I have sourced seeds from many companies but Mary's, by far, outweighs them all in so many ways. The germination rate alone is incomparable- I'd say 99% or more and that 1% loss is likely my own fault lol. Pricing is competitive, shipping is fast and always complete. Mary is personally available to answer all questions, no matter how silly. The most impressive, however, is lately I've been growing microgreens. In my research, I've learned that sunflower micros come with a list of problems: poor germination, disease or mold, etc. I took a chance with Mary's and WHOA. Complete germination and astounding quality.
I will always remain loyal to this company and will always recommend to others!
