Centaurea triumfettii Hoar Frost © 2010 Specia:Perennials.com All Rights ReservedCentaurea triumfettii 'Hoar Frost'

White with a breath of pink cornflowers with mauve stamens. Ground hugging grey-green leaves. The flower stems  reach about 8 - 12in tall. Flowers from May - June and again later in summer. Drought tolerant and needs well drained soil. Best in a sunny spot.

Hoar Frost is one of the most delicate looking Centaureas with its near-white, pink-flushed flowers. Its looks belie its tough constitution - it shrugs off drought and puts up with poor soils. However, we found this year that it really responds to a bit of fresh, fertile soil and flowers with great vigour when pampered in spring time.
