Thin wiry stems push up through whatever is around them and carry small pincushion flowers a metre or so above the ground, so the colour appears to float without any obvious plant beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Melton Pastels' gives a range rather than a single shade — deep crimson through salmon and coral to soft dusky lilac, all from one packet. Planted through grasses or among taller perennials the effect is meadow-like and very hard to achieve with anything more solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is exceptional for bees and butterflies, flowers from June until autumn if you keep deadheading, and copes with dry chalky ground that defeats a lot of perennials. Expect flowers in its second year from seed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54941650288973,"sku":"KNA-MPS","price":2.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Knautia_Melton_Pastels.jpg?v=1791039235","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-knautia-melton-pastels","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
