    **Starting Seeds**: Begin indoors 6-8 weeks prior to your last frost date.

    1. Fill seed trays or pots with a high-quality seed starting mix.
    2. Sow the Black Knight Scabiosa seeds on the surface of the soil. Do not cover them as they require light to germinate.

    1. After the last risk of frost has passed, harden off your seedlings by setting the pots outdoors in a sheltered area (not in direct sun) for about a week.
    2. Transplant the seedlings directly into your garden or desired location.

    **Direct Sowing**:

    If you prefer to direct sow the seeds, you can do so in early spring or late summer.

    1. Scatter or plant the seeds onto prepared soil.
    2. Water them in lightly, and keep the area moist until the seedlings are established.
    3. Once your seedlings have produced two sets of leaves, you can thin them out carefully or relocate them as desired.
