Title: scabious "James Greaves"
Post by: macmac on June 30, 2011, 18:03:54
I'm not much of a flower grower (if you can't eat it.....)
but Les on the allotment an octogenarian  :) has asked if I can find out how to propagate this plant,he has one or two lovely specimens but sadly lost many in the winter.I've tried googling but couldn't find the variety and saw something about seeds but he's looking to take cuttings I think.
Any info would be very welcome  :)

propagate by division. Seeds may not come true
