Same-Day Florist and Flower Delivery in Somers, NY

Scabiosa is a client favorite among our Somers New York florist team—perfect for weddings, rustic themes, and romantic gestures.

Summer fields and meadows abound with butterflies and bumblebees flitting from one flower to the next seeking to capture their sweet nectar. Often they can be seen alighting gently upon the stately scabiosa.

A relative of the honeysuckle, scabiosa is a member of the Caprifoliaceae family of plants and is native to Africa, Europe and Asia. It is also known as the pincushion flower for its numerous and prominent white or yellow stamens that stand upright upon a button center surrounded by multiple rows of ruffled petals. These highly textural flowers bloom from early summer through late autumn throughout the yards and gardens of Somers .

Scabiosa are available in a variety of luminous colors including shades of pink, red, yellow, purple, blue and white. An almost black shade of deep burgundy can be found in the Black Beauty variety of scabiosa, adding a distinctive touch to any floral creation. Scabiosa pods make ornamental fillers for any type of bouquet or floral arrangement. They are ball shaped and lack petals for unique appeal. The stems are long and wiry which allow for a droopy effect, if desired. Their serrated leaves are a medium green color.

For a rustic backyard event or laid back wedding, a perfect choice for floral accompaniments of all kinds would be the scabiosa. A wildflower bouquet can be crafted out of purple stock, scabiosa and veronica. A lush oblong bouquet can be created out of peonies, scabiosa, ranunculus and ferns. A romantic boho blend might include garden roses, scabiosa and baby’s breath. This blend in miniature also makes quaint boutonnieres. A chic and classic look can be had by tying together a simple clutch of ivory or butterfly blue scabiosa with grosgrain ribbon.

A kaleidoscope effect can be had by mixing a variety of colors in table top centerpieces. Mix scabiosa, moss and dusty pink roses in metallic vases for a stunning display. A mystical mix of scabiosa pods and monochromatic flowers is well suited for decorating stark industrial styled events. Add whimsy and delight to a tea party, graduation, bridal or baby shower with scabiosa filled decorative accents.

Also known as the gypsy rose, let scabiosa wander in and among the floral designs at your own special occasion.
