Knautia macedonica Melton Pastels

Pincushion flower - Melton Pastels

Knautia macedonica Melton Pastels is a delightful perennial known for its airy, meadow-like charm and soft, romantic colour palette. This variety produces a mix of pincushion-like flowers in shades of pink, lilac, mauve, and soft red, carried on slender, branching stems above mounds of green foliage. Blooming continuously from  summer into autumn, it offers a long-lasting display that brings gentle movement and texture to the garden.

Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, ‘Melton Pastels’ is a magnet for pollinators and ideal for wildlife-friendly planting schemes. It thrives in sunny borders, cottage gardens, or prairie-style designs and is particularly effective when planted in groups or drifts.
