Knautia macedonica 'Mars Midget'
Knautia macedonica 'Mars Midget' is a compact, free-flowering perennial producing rich wine-red pincushion flowers on slender, wiry stems throughout summer. The vibrant blooms hover above neat green foliage, creating a light and airy effect that brings movement and colour to borders and naturalistic planting schemes.
This dwarf selection is perfect for smaller gardens, cottage-style borders and wildlife-friendly planting, where it flowers over a long period and attracts a wide range of pollinating insects. The elegant flowerheads also make excellent cut flowers, adding texture and colour to floral arrangements.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, 'Mars Midget' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, combining beautifully with ornamental grasses and other summer-flowering perennials.
