Hey Woofie! Yes, it's Scabiosa. Thanks - I couldn't for the life of me remember the name! I don't know which exact one it is without digging for the tag (I will, if needed), and they are perennial.
I covered all of the seeds with a little soil, so it's obvious that they don't have to be on top of the soil. I probably just got lucky though. Should I just lay the seeds on their side, or poke them in part way, leaving part of the seed exposed? They are rather large seeds, but not all that heavy, so I can see them blowing away if a good wind picks up.
