Greater Knapweed

Centaurea scabiosa

Welsh: Pengaled Fawr

This is a most attractive wildflower for naturalising in grass. In July and August, the plant is covered with showy purplish crimson flowers that are usually smothered in butterflies and bees. After the flowers have faded the seed heads are loved by goldfinches.
