Knautia ‘Thunder and Lightning’

Knautia ‘Thunder and Lightning’ is an eye-catching perennial, admired for its striking variegated foliage and vibrant blooms. The plant’s deeply lobed, dark green leaves are edged with creamy white margins, creating a bold contrast that lasts throughout the growing season. In summer, it produces vivid magenta pincushion-like flowers held on tall, wiry stems.

Reaching a height of approximately 60 to 70 cm, this upright plant is perfect for adding vertical interest to borders, cottage gardens, or wildlife-friendly planting schemes. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Knautia ‘Thunder and Lightning’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing good tolerance to drought once established.

This low-maintenance perennial is ideal for gardeners looking to add a long-flowering, reliable plant to their garden, combining attractive foliage and bold flowers for a dynamic display.
