Centaurea cyanus
Oh my! Intense and bold, with a touch of drama.
Combine her with white or pale pink plants for a stunning flower bed. She does well in a pot though.
And on top of that, she provides delicious food for insects and is wonderful as a cut or dried flower.
What more could we possibly want!
A great annual, she's also a Cool Flower.
