Scabiosa ‘Fama White’ is a beautiful long-flowering perennial prized for its large elegant pure white pincushion flowers held above soft grey-green foliage. Blooming continuously from late spring through autumn, this outstanding variety produces masses of delicate blooms that gently sway above the foliage, attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators into the garden.

Known for its exceptional flower size and strong stems, ‘Fama White’ is highly valued both in the garden and as a premium cut flower. Its crisp white blooms combine beautifully with cottage garden plantings, perennial borders and modern soft planting schemes, adding brightness and texture throughout the flowering season.

Compact, hardy and easy to grow, Scabiosa ‘Fama White’ thrives in sunny New Zealand gardens and performs exceptionally well in containers, borders and pollinator-friendly gardens. Regular deadheading encourages repeat flowering, ensuring months of colour and garden interest.

How to establish your Scabiosa Fama White?

Position

Plant in full sun for best flowering and compact healthy growth. Excellent for borders, cottage gardens and containers.

Soil

Prefers well-drained fertile soil. Avoid heavy wet soils, particularly during winter.

Watering

Water regularly while establishing. Once established, plants are reasonably drought tolerant but perform best with occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.

Feeding

Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage strong growth and prolific flowering throughout the season.

Spacing

Allow approximately 40–50cm between plants for good airflow and a full mature display.

How to maintain your Scabiosa Fama White once established?

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming from spring through autumn. Cut back tired growth in late autumn or winter to promote fresh growth in spring.

Divide older clumps every few years if they become overcrowded to maintain vigour and flowering performance.
