Lomelosia caucasica, also known as the Caucasian pincushion flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae. It is native to the Caucasus, northeastern Turkey, and northern Iran. This clump-forming perennial can grow up to 60 cm tall and has grey-green, divided leaves. Its pincushion-shaped buds open to reveal pale blue or lavender flower heads in late summer through autumn. It was previously classified as Scabiosa caucasica until 1985 when it was moved to the Lomelosia genus. However, it is still listed as Scabiosa caucasica in some sources. This plant is highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use in various colors, such as red, purple, pink, blue, and white. Some popular cultivars include 'Clive Greaves' and 'Miss Willmott', which have received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
