Scabiosa caucasica - Fama Blue

One of those plants that earns its keep immediately, Scabiosa caucasica ‘Fama Blue’ is an easy, reliable perennial “flower machine” with huge, richly colored blooms that can reach up to 4" across.

Blooming from late spring into summer, and often into fall with regular deadheading, it keeps the garden feeling fresh, soft, and abundantly floral. Bees and butterflies adore the blooms, while gardeners love its mildew-free foliage, generous flowering, and graceful movement in bouquets.
