Scabiosa Snowmaiden

The color category is "champagne"! A trending color from top to bottom and a must-have for any bed with soft color schemes. Various textures and flower sizes are suitable for a flower bed. And scabiosa is a great candidate! Small flowers the size of a twenty-crown coin, straight stems with a basal rosette, and individual buds resembling beads.

Summer stock is a fantastic cut flower! It loves cool temperatures, and we can still grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. You'll harvest only one flower per plant, but it will be a truly large, fully double bloom. Stock has a wonderfully intoxicating scent and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible. Katz series is not as susceptible to temperature changes and is generally easier for beginner gardeners to grow. However, this comes at the cost of thinner stems and a smaller proportion of double-flowered specimens. Katz Apricot is a pure white shade. All stocks have some plants with double flowers and some with single. The proportion varies with each series. Katz has 55-60% double-flowered plants. Therefore, we recommend growing a bit more. But here on our farm, we also use the single ones; they are super unique.

Benary's Giant is a fantastic and reliable zinnia series; we stand by it! The flowers are larger, about 10 cm, and full of petals, giving them a beautifully lush appearance. Benary's Giant Salmon Rose is a beautiful shade of brick orange to salmon.

At the turn of spring and summer, large, full blooms are scarce. The last ranunculus have faded, and there's plenty of time before the first dahlias bloom. On our farm, it was always a struggle at that time to find beautiful, full, large flowers for bouquets. But we succeeded! We filled the void with asters and peony-flowered poppies. These poppies reliably replace peonies, ranunculus, and dahlias. Just keep in mind that they don't bloom for long and need a bit of care to last in a bouquet. We harvest buds just as they are about to open, sear the stem ends in water for a few seconds, and let them fully open in the vase. Peony-flowered poppy Salmon is a warm pink color.
