  So I can add this to my scabious family and also look for knautia when I go to the GC on Saturday.
  
  Thanks, all.

  You can also get seed for Knautia (both the red and the pastel pinks), and they self-sow exuberantly.

  I moved them the other night. 

  
  

  They are very happy in their new home.

  Looks great — keep deadheading; mine (Butterfly Blue and Flutter Rose Pink) kept flowering until December last year

  The standard knautia macedonia is dark red as @Lyn said. The melton pastels are pink - as already said by @JennyJ.

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
