Knautia produces attractive deep pink blossom through out the summer and will attract butterflies, being well suited to wild gardens.
Cultivation tips: Knuatia will tolerate in any fertile soil that is reasonably well drained, and ideally slightly alkaline, tolerating chalky soils. It prefers full sun for a really good display of summer blossom.
