Centaurea bella


Cornflower

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.125.020


The perennial cornflowers are cousins to the common Bachelor's Button, with showy heads of shaggy flowers. This species is low in stature and well suited to growing in a rock garden, or for edging. Foliage forms a mounding mat of grey-green divided leaves, setting off a display of lilac-pink flowers beginning in early summer and continuing for many weeks. Removing faded flower heads will encourage repeat blooming all summer long. Beautiful next to Coreopsis 'Moonbeam'.
