Description:
Knautia macedonica is a perennial native to Southeastern Europe, admired for its rich red 'pincushion' flowers. It grows up to 30 inches tall and blooms throughout the summer on slender, upright stems. This hardy plant can withstand temperatures as low as -4°F and prefers sunny positions in neutral or alkaline soil. Although it may be short-lived, it self-seeds readily, ensuring its presence in the garden. Its unique wine-red flowers and pinnately compound leaves make it a standout in any sunny perennial border.
