Knautia macedonica 'Melton Pastels'

This is at the very far end of the back garden so gets lots of sun as it's south facing. It's beside the apple tree and Wedding Day rose aswell as lots of other 🐝 friendly plants like borage, cranesbill, nepeta, etc....

Love how the plants all mingle 💚💚💚

No room for weeds! @kez001uk 😄

@anges why grow weeds when you can grow even more flowers 😉

#knautia blooming now 💕🐝💕🐝💕🐝💕

Morning.. what a beautiful shot !! 💖🐝

Good morning Ange lovely picture 🤗

Morning Ange, you too 🖐🖐

Morning, thanks JP 😀 @jpea

That's brilliant, I've only got a couple of very small flowers on mine now 💕💕

Morning Ange beautiful picture 😊🥰

It looked tatty about 6 weeks ago so I cut it back and now it's sending out more flowers - it's not as gangly either. No idea what I'm doing with it but it can stay for next year 😀 @pelly

Morning Pauline, thank you very much 💖 @pauline33 😊

I was thinking of taking it out last year, glad I didn’t and I remembered to get the supports in early this year 👍👍

Ooh so pretty!! Mine has finished now so you must be on to something there 😍

Nice one Jane 💖 @pelly

@gjones They're cute little flowers Katie 💕💕💕

Maybe Ash, like I say, no idea really 😀 The bees love it too 🐝 @daisyrozanne

Hi everyone, have a wonderful Wednesday 💕💕💕 #knautia-macedonia-melton-pastels #knautia #pink

Oh dear 😁 First time I've had one of these - got it from your favourite shop 😀 #mozzers Let's see if I can keep it alive 💕 @Jasonsparkes1

Morning Ange, mine is flowering it’s socks off and this is the best colour on it, the others seem a bit wishy washy, is yours the same? 🤔💗

Morning Ang ...ooooo lovely 💞💘

Morning Ange, that's a vivid shade 👌

Hi, it's flowering like mad but all the flowers are this colour so far 💓 It's very tall and gangly aswell so I don't know how it looks atm as we had loads of rain and wind yesterday - need to check on it tonight ☺ @pelly

Morning Julie, thanks - your colour 💓 @juliesgarden

Morning JP, it is - my favourite colour 💓 @jpea

Gorgeous colour 👍

Morning Ange 👋 😀 💖💖

@fuschia Thanks Pearl 💕💕💕

Hi James, have a great day! 😊 @bandicoot

Morning Ange.. Same to you 😊💗

Morning Ange, you too 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Morning Ange, thanks, enjoy yours too 🌸🌸

You too Ang 👍🏻😍

@Di007 @jpea @pelly @juliesgarden @Jasonsparkes1 Afternoon everyone ☺ Thank you! 💚

Just adding this photo to my catalogue (£1.50 Morrisons 😃)

I got this earlier in the year and was quite disappointed with it and it got so big!! I'll be interested to see how yours goes Ange 🤔🤔

@pelly Ok, God knows! 😀 Never heard of it tbh but I liked the look of the flowers and the price! £££

I think I didn't do enough research on the planting Ange, I'm hoping for better next year. Good luck 😍😍

@pelly thanks and thanks for the 'heads up' 💟

You're welcome, just make sure you get it staked early 👍👍

@pelly ok Jane - think i'm going to be raising a monster! 😂

Hopefully not, and I'm hoping for better next year, but it's not one I'm worried about losing particularly @anges 🤔🤔

Little present to myself - so cheap #bargainbetty 😊
