Frequently Asked Questions

The listing says "Annual," but the description calls it a "beautiful perennial" — which is correct?

Scabiosa caucasica is genuinely a true perennial species, so the "Annual" life cycle label here appears to be inconsistent with the plant's actual nature.

The listed height (150–200 cm) seems very tall for scabiosa — is that accurate?

That does seem off; Scabiosa caucasica typically grows only 45–60 cm tall, so this height figure looks like a data error borrowed from a much taller plant.

How is Scabiosa caucasica different from Scabiosa atropurpurea, another common garden scabiosa?

S. caucasica is generally a true, larger-flowered perennial, while S. atropurpurea is often grown as more of a shorter-lived annual or biennial, making them distinct species despite both being called "pincushion flower."

What does "Fama" refer to in this variety's name?

Fama is a known Scabiosa caucasica seed strain bred for consistent, rich blue coloring and reliable performance as a garden and cut flower.

Is the "deep blue" color a true blue, or more violet-toned?

Like most "blue" garden flowers, this shade likely leans more toward a rich violet-blue than a true primary blue, since genuinely true-blue flowers are rare in nature.

Is this variety popular in professional floristry?

Yes, Scabiosa caucasica is well regarded in floral design, often included in bridal bouquets for its elegant form and good vase life.
