Cultivar Notes -

Mars Midget

Pin cushion-like, 2”, round flowers have brilliant ruby-red petals and white stamens. Butterflies love to drink their sweet nectar. Flowers bloom all season. Pretty and adaptable, this plant will often reseed itself. Use for borders, containers or cut flowers.

Genus Notes -

Knautia

Knautias bear hemispheres of tiny flowers on branching, wiry stems for a long period in summer. They want full sun but are not picky about soil, as long as it’s well-draining. They are very tolerant of drought.
