When Thomas Jefferson requested roots and bulbs of the "Mourning bride" from his friend and neighbor, Isaac Coles, in 1811, he may have been referring to the Pincushion Flower. Also known as Scabiosa because of its skin-healing medicinal qualities, and Mourning bride because of its association with grieving widows in eighteenth-century England, Pincushion Flower was sold by Philadelphia nurseryman Bernard McMahon in 1804. Pincushion Flower is a half-hardy annual that is cherished for its velvet-like flowers that appear on slender, foot-long stalks through the summer months. The flowers are uncommonly beautiful and appear in mixed shades of purple, blue, white, and red. Sow the seeds in a sunny site after the last frost in spring. Approximately 25-30 seeds per pack.
