Scabiosa atropurpurea, Linn. (S. major, Hort. S. maritima, Linn. S. calyptocarpa, St. Amans). Sweet Scabious. An annual branching plant about 2 ft. high: radical lvs. lanceolate-ovate, lyrate, coarsely dentate; st.-lvs. pinnately parted, the lobes oblong, dentate or cut: fls. dark purple, rose, or white, in long-peduncled heads, becoming ovate or oblong in fr. July-Oct. S. Eu.—Very variable and in common cult. S. varia, Hort.; not Gilib., is probably a name applied to mixed varieties of S. atropurpurea. Var. candidissima, Hort., is a white-fld. form; also occurs double under the horticultural names of candidissima flore-pleno and candidissima plena. Var. coccinea, Hort., is a scarlet-fld. form. Var. compacta, Hort., only a compact form, probably referable to var. grandiflora. Var. flore-pleno, Hort., see var. grandiflora. Var. grandiflora, Hort. (S. grandiflora, Hort. S. atropurpurea var. maxima, Hort. S. atropurpurea var. flore-pleno, Hort.), is really a large-fld. strain occurring in several variant forms based on habit, fl.-color, and the like. One form is known horticulturally as grandiflora compacta, also occurring double, and a second as maxima plena. By some authorities this variety includes all the others; it is the common garden strain. Var. major, Hort., also known horticulturally as grandiflora major, is a tall-growing form of which the following variations are named in the trade: major aurantiaca, major sulphurica, and major compacta atropurpurea. Var. maxima, Hort., see var. grandiflora. Var. minor, Hort., see var. nana. Var. nana, Hort. (S. atropurpurea var. minor, Hort. S. minor, Hort.), also known horticulturally as grandiflora minor, is a smaller-growing group of plants, very much branched, of which the following forms are named in the trade: minor aurea flore-pleno, also known as S. minor aurea flore-pleno, which has light yellow double fls.; nana foliis-aureis with yellow foliage, and nana plena. Var. pumila, Hort., also known horticulturally as grandiflora pumila, is a dwarf group occurring in various colors; there is also a double form horticulturally known as pumila flore-pleno. This is the group listed in the trade as Tom Thumb. — The forms of S. atropurpurea are among the most popular of flower-garden annuals. Seeds sown in the open ground in spring should give bloom in early summer and continue till frost. The composite-like heads are produced on long sts., good for cutting.
