Centaurea (Cornflower)

Description

Centaurea (sen-TOR-ee-uh), commonly known as Cornflower, is a whimsical and charming perennial cherished for its vibrant, fringed flowers and silvery-green foliage. Blooming in striking shades of true-blue, pink, white, and purple, Centaurea brings a dramatic splash of color to gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows. Its distinctive, eye-catching blossoms not only add beauty to your landscape but also serve as a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Centaurea thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, with an impressive drought tolerance that makes it perfect for low-maintenance and xeriscape gardens. This hardy perennial is also deer-resistant and has the ability to naturalize easily, gently spreading over time to create a carefree, intriguing floral display year after year.
