Knautia General Information

Knautia are upright, clump-forming perennials. Avoid too moist (wet feet). This is an excellent choice for the front of the border. Compact size also makes it great for containers.

Knautia Plant Care

Can be divided every 3-4 years in spring. Avoid soil that is compacted or wet in winter. To ensure a supply of flowers, prune oldest stems to the ground to make room for the newer ones. Leave some spent blossoms, birds love the seeds.
