scabiosa - salmon queen
You don’t have to be a professional to see why Salmon Queen reigns supreme among floral designers and flower farmers. This enchanting variety is somewhere between coral and salmon pink, just divine for the cutting garden or integrating into the landscape. Plants reach 32 inches tall, with strong wiry stems and fully double heads, making it ideal for everything from wedding displays to casual arrangements. This mid-summer bloomer will easily thrive in gardens zones 3-8.
