Knautia macedonia

Knautia

Knautia is one of the finest perennials for the border we have seen. It has a very long season of flowering lasting well into the autumn and early winter. Knautia's dense, double, pin cushion scabious like flowers are a brilliantly strong cherry red, a rare colour in border flowers. Makes a large, neat, rounded bushy plant producing many flowers which are excellent for cutting. Easy to grow and undemanding. Flowers summer/autumn.

	Easy-to-grow
	Lovely in a natural border
	Good accent for grasses
