Maroon flowers, a rarity among perennial plants. Flowers about 30 mm in diameter. Begins flowering early July in our garden. A dwarf form of Knautia macedonica, much prefer this dwarf variety, I find the flower stems of the regular species to get stretched, twisted and floppy.

Easy from seed.

Seems to grow best for us in partial shade.

Hardy zone 4 maybe 3.

Height of 40 cm, spread 30 cm.

Glen's score:  8.
