Softly blushed and effortlessly romantic, Scabiosa ‘Salmon Rose’ features delicate pincushion blooms in warm peachy-pink tones with just a hint of antique rose. Perched on slender, airy stems, these blooms bring gentle colour and movement to both the garden and the vase. A beautiful choice for those seeking something a little different than classic pinks, this variety is equally loved by florists and pollinators for its charm and productivity.
Best for: Blush-toned bouquets, soft garden borders, cottage-style plantings, and pollinator-friendly spaces.

Prefers full sun and free-draining soil. Regular harvesting will encourage continuous bloom. Remove spent blooms to prevent self-seeding if not desired. Harvest when flowers are fully coloured and have opened slightly for best vase life. Excellent vase life and long, elegant stems. |
