Description

A tall exotic annual producing large airy flower heads in rich cherry rose shades with long elegant stamens and strong summer presence.

Cherry Queen is a striking spider flower known for its tall upright stems topped with large rounded heads of vibrant cherry rose blooms that create a dramatic tropical look in summer borders.

The long curling stamens give each flower a spider like appearance adding movement and texture to the display and making the plant a real focal point in mixed plantings.

Plants grow with a bold architectural habit reaching impressive height and forming sturdy branching stems that hold their colour well through warm weather.

Cherry Queen thrives in full sun and rich well drained soil and benefits from warm days and cooler nights for best germination and early growth.

This variety is highly attractive to bees moths and other pollinators and performs especially well in hot summers where it produces abundant long lasting blooms.

Ideal for the back of borders where height and drama are needed it brings a lush exotic feel and pairs beautifully with bold annuals and grasses
