Add incredible movement and a wild, prairie-style feel to your borders with the deep, crimson-red, pincushion-like flowers of this stunning perennial. Knautia macedonica produces a seemingly endless succession of blooms that bob beautifully on tall, wiry stems, creating a brilliant 'see-through' effect. This knautia is remarkably long-flowering, providing a spectacular, high-impact splash of intense color from early summer right up until the first frosts. It is a phenomenally tough, fully hardy plant that actually prefers poor, well-drained soils, making it the ultimate low-maintenance hero for dry gardens. You will be amazed by the sheer number of butterflies it attracts, acting as an essential, nectar-rich resource late into the season. Show more
