#knautiaarvensis unfurling just in time for Spring
New season, new nursery location, lots to do. Currently building the propagation room and mapping out stock beds. Definitely need to shout out @arvensisperennials for setting the standard of just how classy and inspirational a specialist perennial nursery can be. #watchthisspace

Never been much of a Delphinium fan, but this species vestitum is winning me over.
