Commonly known as Knapweed, Serratula tinctoria var. seoanei produces masses of small, purple, fuzzy thistle flowers on wiry stems in autumn, over green, finely cut foliage, followed by attractive straw-like seedheads.
This ankle-high perennial is perfect for the front of a well-drained, sunny border, and is often used for edging borders and pathways. Its seedheads continue to deliver an architectural presence through winter and are very popular with birds. A great choice for gravel gardens and naturalistic planting schemes, it performs best in free-draining, fertile soil in full sun.
