Knapweed, Greater (Centaurea scabiosa) Seeds

A sharp and showy-looking flower, blooming into starburst-shaped, thistle-like magenta florets. The Greater Knapweed is hardy and tall-growing- grow it alone to let its brambly beauty shine forth and attract plenty of butterflies, or contrast it with softer-shaped wildflowers, like the ox-eye daisy.
