Centaurea montana

Lovely mauve-centred blue cornflowers. The flowers are very attractive to bees. The fresh leaves are attractively covered in silver hairs. Reaches about 1ft - 1ft 6in / 30-45cm and spreads by underground shoots. Flowers from May through the summer if cut back hard after flowers fade. Drought tolerant but not fussy about soil type. Said to do better in limey soils but performs pretty well in our slightly acid soil. Best in sun or light shade.
