Scabiosa ‘Fama White’
Description: Scabiosa ‘Fama White’ is a stunning perennial with large, pure white, pincushion-like flowers that bloom throughout summer, adding elegance and charm to any garden. The delicate, ruffled petals contrast beautifully against its lush green foliage, making it a striking addition to flower beds and borders. This plant is known for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a beneficial choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
Growing Conditions:
Sunlight: Prefers full sun, at least 6 hours daily for the best flower production.
Soil: Thrives in well-draining, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH.
Watering: Moderate watering; keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Temperature: Hardy in zones 5-9. This variety tolerates mild frost but may need some protection in colder regions.
Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to encourage robust growth and blooms.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
Special Care: Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Scabiosa ‘Fama White’ is relatively low-maintenance but will benefit from a sheltered spot in regions with strong winds, as tall stems may be prone to bending.
