Flora Scabiosa Fama

Yes, Scabiosa caucasica is a perennial. While many perennials take a year to establish before blooming, this specific variety is bred to flower in its first year, giving you blooms during the initial growing season.

Because the blooms are heavy and the stems can reach up to 30 inches, they benefit significantly from support. We recommend using horizontal trellising or netting to keep the stems upright and prevent them from flopping over after rain or wind.

Scabiosa Fama is highly regarded for its vase life. When harvested at the right stage—ideally when the outer florets have opened but the center is still tight—these blooms can last up to 7 to 10 days in a fresh arrangement.

For optimal airflow and to prevent disease, space your plants 12 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants to develop their sturdy, upright habit without crowding each other.

You can expect a generous display of color for 2 to 3 months. Regular deadheading—removing the spent blooms—will encourage the plant to continue producing new flowers throughout that entire window.
