Scabiosa 'Salmon Queen'
Scabiosa 'Salmon Queen'
Scabiosa atropurpurea
Producing a profusion of salmony, coral pink 2-4cm blooms throughout the spring and summer on tall stems, we love using scabiosa as a garden and bouquet filler. The buds are just as visually interesting as the blooms and this colour combines well with a large variety of other flowers. The plants will often self seed, sprouting in the autumn for the earliest spring blooms. We love how large group plantings wave in the wind.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) - Sow 4-6 weeks before last frost. Barley cover as light aids germination. Transplant to larger containers when the first true leaves appear. Harden off and transplant outside after last frost.
DIRECT SEED - After last frost. Successive plantings every 2-3 weeks until late Spring gives best quality flowers and pods.
HARVESTING - for longest vase life, harvest flowers in the morning, choosing blooms that have just begun to show good color but are not yet open.
