 Centaurea pulcherrima
Low mounds of divided silver-grey leaves and pale pink cornflowers in late spring and again in late summer. Requires sun and good drainage. Propagates by careful division. We have never been able to find seed that will germinate. Also called Aethropappus pulcherrimus. Native to Caucasus and Asia Minor including Iran, hence the common name of Persian Cornflower.

 Distinguished
from the similar C. bagadensis
