Summary
Serratula coronata, commonly known as Plumeless Saw-Wort, is a deciduous perennial herb native to a variety of habitats in Eurasia, including meadows, grasslands, and light woodlands. It typically grows to a height of 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters) and a width of 0.4-1 feet (0.1-0.3 meters). The plant features narrow, lance-shaped leaves and bears small, thistle-like purple flowers from late summer to fall, which are modest in their showiness but attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Plumeless Saw-Wort is valued for its adaptability and can be used in wildflower meadows, naturalized areas, or as part of a border planting where its flowers can add late-season interest. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade and prefers medium amounts of water with well-drained soil. While not a common garden plant, it can be an interesting addition to a native plant garden or a pollinator-friendly landscape. It is generally low-maintenance but can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
