Knautia macedonica
A free-flowering, long-lived perennial with a wonderfully naturalistic charm. It produces a steady succession of rich crimson, pincushion-like flowers on slender, wiry stems from midsummer well into autumn. These vibrant blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
The foliage forms a loose, leafy clump at the base, while the tall, airy flowering stems weave beautifully through neighbouring plants without overwhelming them. Perfect for cottage gardens, wildflower-style borders, or prairie plantings, Knautia macedonica thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
Deadheading prolongs the display, though it often self-seeds gently in the right spot.
Sold currently in 2-litre pots.
