Watched GW last night, can't remember the name of the plant that was planted in the sweetpea garden, apperently 'the plant to buy' this summer. Sturdy, colourful and easy to grow. Going to nursery tomorrow, so please please help. Or else where on the website can I find the plants that were discussed in y'days programm?
Many thanks

Be careful, it can be a bit of a thug. It flops everywhere unless supported and will seed itself all over the place if allowed.
Nice flower colour but not outstanding in terms of flower amount.
I am afraid I junked mine after two seasons.

I have grown knautia macedonica for years, yes it does need stacking, yes it can be a bit of a thug but of all the flowers in my garden I get asked more questions than any other.It used to be known as scabious numelica, in common with all scabious it is an important wildlife plant providing nectar for hoverflies bees and butterflies. you will be pleased to know there is a dwarf variety (12-l8")called Mars Midget available from www.crocus.co.uk
