Scabiosa 'Fama White' is a stunning perennial renowned for its large, pure white pincushion flowers held on long, sturdy stems above compact mounds of grey-green foliage. Flowering from late spring through autumn, this free-flowering variety provides months of elegant colour while attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.

The Fama series is prized for producing larger flowers, stronger stems and a longer flowering season than traditional Scabiosa varieties. Its long stems also make it one of the finest cut flowers for fresh bouquets and floral arrangements.

For best performance:

How to maintain your Scabiosa Fama White once established?

Water regularly until the plant establishes.

Once established, Scabiosa Fama White is relatively drought tolerant but performs best with occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.

For healthy growth and abundant flowers:

Apply compost annually in spring.
Use a balanced slow-release fertiliser at the beginning of the growing season.

Regular deadheading is the secret to continuous flowering.

Simply:

Remove spent flowers back to the next healthy leaf or side shoot.
Continue throughout the flowering season.
This encourages fresh blooms and keeps the plant tidy.

During the Growing Season
Remove faded flower stems regularly.
Trim away damaged or weak growth if required.

In colder regions, leave the foliage to help protect the crown.
Cut old growth back in late winter before new shoots emerge.
