Centaurea macrocephala © 2006 SpecialPerennials.comCentaurea macrocephala

Dramatic plants with large yellow balls of flower opening from bronze buds. The flowers are very attractive to bees. The seed heads are equally attractive looking like bronze heads topped with brunette wigs! The seeds provide winter food for birds and small mammals. Reaches about 90cm but the stiff stems rarely require staking.
