Knautia arvensis

Knautia arvensis, commonly known as Field Scabious, is a hardy perennial wildflower prized for its delicate lavender-blue blooms and long flowering season from late spring to early autumn. A favourite among pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it ideal for wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, and naturalised plantings. Knautia arvensis adds height and movement to borders while supporting biodiversity in the garden. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established.
