Knautia

Drought tolerant Knautia

The flowering trees are nearly spent so I was delighted to see the Knautia stepping up to take their place. Always the first to bloom in the Butterfly Garden. A cousin to the Pincushions -- those purple flowering perennials you often see at garden centers.

This gal will happily bloom without any help from you. Drought tolerant, flowers all summer long, with deadheading.
