Product Details

A favourite for wildlife gardens, Knautia macedonica produces deep crimson, pincushion-like flowers on tall, branching stems from mid to late summer. Its delicate but resilient blooms sway gently in the breeze, adding movement and texture to borders, and bees and butterflies love its nectar-rich flowers – so this perennial plant is a valuable addition to any pollinator-friendly planting scheme.

Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, Knautia macedonica is an easy to grow flower plant and requires little maintenance. It adds height without overwhelming other plants, making it ideal for cottage gardens, prairie-style plantings, or mixed perennial borders. 

Deadheading spent flowers will encourage further blooms, extending the season of colour well into autumn. Pair with roses for a soft, informal look, or plant alongside Salvia plants and Dahlia plants for a varied display of summer colour that lasts well into late season.

FAQs

Plant Knautia macedonica in well-drained soil and a sunny position for the best flowering display. It prefers moderately fertile soil but will tolerate poorer conditions as long as drainage is good. Space plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart to allow room for their airy, branching habit. Supporting taller stems may be necessary in exposed spots, or parts of the country with strong winds.

Yes, deadheading Knautia macedonica keeps it looking tidy and extends its flowering season from mid-summer into early autumn. To deadhead, cut back individual faded flower stems to a healthy pair of leaves. If the plant becomes untidy later in the season, a light trim can promote fresh growth and a final flush of flowers before autumn. If you don’t deadhead, the seed heads may self-seed in suitable conditions, growing new plants the following year.

Yes, Knautia macedonica can benefit from being divided. If clumps become congested or growth starts to decline, lift and divide the plant in early spring or autumn when the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Use a sharp spade or knife to separate the plant into smaller sections, leaving each part of the divided root ball with a good amount of healthy roots. Replant immediately at the same depth, firming in well and watering thoroughly.
