Description
The knautia brigade, (here both crimson and soft mauve) as with their close cousins, scabious, flower endlessly, cut brilliantly and, rich in both nectar and pollen, are some of the most visited flowers in our garden by butterflies.
Care Tips
Support with twiggy silver birch sticks or brushwood well before the flowers appear. Cut down to the ground in autumn and mulch with well rotted manure or compost in autumn to help retain moisture in the soil.
