Knautia

Knautia macedonica ‘Mars Midget’ full sun

The deep crimson of this exciting new cultivar’s double 2 in. pincushion blooms is rare and intense. Shorter and more compact than the species, sturdy ‘Mars Midget’ furnishes curving stems, which branch into several flowering stalks and hold a seemingly endless supply of the extraordinary color above green basal leaves.

Lively on its own, it’s absolutely vibrant with Salvia ‘Amethyst’, Geranium ‘Nimbus’ and Kniphofia ‘Orange Flame’.

Blooms June–October.

Size: 16" high x 20" wide; hardy to zone 5.

AVAILABLE SPRING 2012

Customer Comment:

“In a busy business, you may get lulled into thinking it's all about orders, supplies, shipping, etc.  But it's not just about that.  It's also about the happiness your flowers brought to a little girl who has endured a great deal in her young life, and the happiness that plants bring to us all, young and old.”
