Sow seeds under cover in moist, well-drained seed compost and cover lightly with soil. Avoid sowing too thickly, as overcrowded seedlings can become weak. Keep the compost lightly moist during germination.

Water during dry periods, especially while plants are young and establishing. Remove faded flowers to encourage a longer flowering season and keep plants looking neat. Caucasian Scabious is easy to grow and performs best in free-draining soil with good air circulation.
