Knautia:
Lovely meadow or
cottage garden plants closely related to Scabious with similar pincushion
flowers all summer if deadheaded. Very attractive to bees and
butterflies. Grow well all but wet soils.
Propagation is best
from seed. Plants can be divided. I get the feeling they come up from
their roots (i.e. I think they do but it might be self-seeds fooling me)
so root cuttings might work. Something for me to try next winter.
