Scabiosa Salmon Rose is one of those soft, romantic annuals that immediately makes the garden feel a little more polished—without ever trying too hard. Its warm salmon-pink blooms sit atop long, airy stems, offering that classic pincushion shape Scabiosa is famous for, but with a beautifully blended wash of rosy peach tones. The colour is incredibly versatile: soft enough to pair with pastels, but warm enough to stand out among richer summer shades.
This variety is a summer-long bloomer, sending up fresh flowers continuously once it settles in. The stems are wonderfully long for cutting (and you’ll want to cut plenty), making it a favourite for bouquets where its delicate, glowing colour shines. Bees adore it, too—expect frequent visits from friendly pollinators who can’t resist its gentle sweetness.
Easygoing by nature, Scabiosa Salmon Rose thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it’s perfectly happy in containers or borders. It adds that light, airy texture designers love, filling the spaces between bolder blooms with elegance and movement. Whether you’re aiming for a romantic cottage feel, building out a cut flower patch, or simply adding a whisper of warm colour to the garden, this variety slips in seamlessly.
Perfect for gardeners who love long stems, soft hues, and a flower that brings effortless charm from early summer straight through to frost.
