Centaurea jacea

Lovely meadow / cottage flower. Lots of pretty pink cornflowers from dark bronze buds. The stiff, 75cm stems are self supporting. Starts flowering in June and re-blooms through October if deadheaded. Drought tolerant but not fussy about soil type. Best in a fairly sunny spot.

Pictured here with Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant', Centaurea jacea makes a lovely, long-flowering companion in our cottage garden.
