Knautia macedonia - Melton Pastels - Scabious

Producing a profusion of pastel flowers from early summer well into autumn, Knautia macedonica ‘Melton Pastels’ delivers exceptional colour over an impressively long season, with a display of deep red to salmon pink flower heads. This perennial's smaller stature makes it ideal for the front or middle of planting schemes, where its rich tones add warmth and movement without overwhelming neighbouring plants.

Hardy and easy-going, Knautia macedonia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, coping well with drier conditions once established. Maintenance requirements are low, needing only occasional deadheading to prolong flowering and a tidy cut back in late autumn or early spring. Long-flowering, wildlife-attracting, and delightfully relaxed in habit, this is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking sustained colour with minimal effort.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
