DESCRIPCIÓN

Scabiosa (scabiosa stellata, scabious flower, pincushion flower, starflower)

Scabiosa ‘Salmon Queen’ produces fully double pincushion flowers in an exquisite blend of antique rose, coral and salmon pink. The lightly honey-scented blooms are carried on long, slender stems, giving the plants a graceful, airy appearance in borders and cottage gardens. Growing approximately 80-90 cm tall, this prolific variety is especially valuable for cutting and blends beautifully into romantic bouquets and wedding arrangements. Regular picking and deadheading encourage it to continue flowering over a long season. The nectar-rich blooms are also highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

INSTRUCCIONES DE CULTIVO

Both annual and perennial scabiosa are very easy to start from seed. Scabiosa seeds are large, papery, and shaped like shuttlecocks; very easy to handle.

Please note: the shoot will grow out of the back of the feathery area of the shuttlecock rather than the point. Plant your scabiosa seeds on their side so the shoot can make its way out easily.

Sow sparsely on damp seed compost. Keep moist, germinates at 22-25°C. Once shoots appear place in a bright, cool area. Scabiosa transplants easily without much issue and since they are such hardy plants, you can plant them out at any point, typically around the second or third set of leaves. Space at approximately 15cm intervals. Give a good soak after transplanting.

Once established, Scabiosa is pretty drought tolerant. They do well with a good amount of fertilization, so keep well fed and well watered.
