Knautia macedonica Red Knight 1L

Knautia macedonica 'Red Knight' is a vibrant, hardy perennial known for its deep red, pincushion-like flowers that bloom profusely throughout the summer. This cultivar, native to Eastern Europe, features unique, spiky blooms that are composed of many small, tubular florets, forming a dense, spherical shape. The flowers, which are about 2–3 cm (1 inch) in diameter, stand above the plant's deep green, lance-shaped leaves, creating a striking contrast.

Reaching a height of 45–60 cm (18–24 inches) with a spread of about 30–45 cm (12–18 inches), ‘Red Knight’ forms a compact, bushy mound, making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and wildflower meadows. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun for the best blooming results. 'Red Knight' is drought-tolerant once established, pollinator-friendly, and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add color and attract bees and butterflies.
