Greater Knapweed Plug Plants Centaurea scabiosa

Greater Knapweed is a vibrant perennial that produces large, purple, thistle-like flowers, blooming from mid-summer to autumn. Thriving in well-drained soils and sunny spots, it’s perfect for meadows, wildflower gardens, and grassy areas.

With its rich nectar, this hardy plant is a magnet for pollinators, especially bees, and butterflies such as common blues and meadow browns. Its striking blooms and attractive seed heads provide beauty and interest from summer into fall, making it an excellent addition to wildlife gardens and natural landscapes.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
