ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom
Greater knapweed has strong resistance to diseases and is generally not susceptible to them. In terms of care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only light watering, and larger plants usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be trimmed after they finish flowering. Greater knapweed is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive gardening experience.
