Knautia macedonica 'Red Cherries'

Sowing method: Sow in trays all year round. First, provide warmth (18-22°C) for 2-4 weeks, then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks. Afterwards, gradually warm it up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer germination period, so do not discard the sowing too soon. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible; in that case, simply let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
