Scabiosa caucasica is native to the Caucusus Mountains , northeastern Turkey and northern Iran. The name Lomelosia is derived from the Greek word 'loma' meaning "the edge or the border" in reference to the membranous edge of the flowers. The specific epithet is a reference to it growing in the Caucusus Mountains. Although this plant is more commonly found under its older name Scabiosa caucasica, it was renamed Lomelosia caucasica in 1985. We have grown this plant since 1997. 

The information about Lomelosia caucasica 'Fama' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
