Macedonian Scabious

Knautia macedonica

Knautia macedonica is a perennial of rare elegance — its deep crimson pincushion flowers held on wiry, branching stems create an airy, nebulous effect that weaves beautifully through neighbouring planting in the naturalistic border. Beloved by bees and butterflies, it self-seeds discreetly and flowers relentlessly from early summer well into autumn.
