Knautia arvensis - Seeds

Knautia arvensis - Seeds

   
   
A British native found in free-draining grass fields. This perennial wildflower will provide colour from summer through to autumn with lavender-coloured, scabious-like flowers. They are loved by bees and butterflies alike. A great choice for a mini meadow, where the long flowering season provides good value. Makes an excellent cut flower that will last up to a week in the vase.

  • Further Information
Common Name: Field Scabious
Plant Type: Perennial
Height: 1.2m
Spread: 50cm
Growing Info:
Seeds need to be exposed to winter cold to germinate, so easiest sown directly where they are to grow Sep-Nov for germination the following spring. Sow seeds 6mm deep in drills 30cm apart, into soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Keep well-watered and thin out to 50cm between plants. Sow under cover Feb-May, 2mm deep into moist seed compost. When seedlings are large enough, transplant into pots and acclimatise before planting out into final growing locations. Prefers alkaline soils.
Aftercare:
Cut flowers regularly to encourage more flowers. If you want them to self-seed, allow late flowers to remain to set seed.
