    Knapweeds? :noidea: I've got some plants looking very similar by that name.

    If so, the genus is centauria :scratch:

    They're Centauria Montana . Perennial Cornflower , they're a good perennial ( not a weed ), flowers with a big flush around April/May and then if you keep deadheading them they'll flower on and off all Summer. They also come in shades of purple, pink and white.
