DESCRIPTION
Centaurea montana, commonly known as Perennial Cornflower, is an herbaceous perennial native to Europe, prized for its vibrant, violet-blue flowers and low-maintenance nature. Blooming in abundance from late spring to early summer, its large, showy flower heads consist of numerous tiny florets surrounded by papery bracts, creating a unique appearance. The plant forms clumps of finely lobed, gray-green leaves that are slightly hairy and deeply cut, adding texture to the garden. Centaurea montana thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Ideal for borders, rock gardens, and cottage gardens, it adds color and texture with its striking flowers and ornamental foliage.
