Centaurea (Cornflower)

Centaurea (sen-TOR-ee-uh), which you may know as the Cornflower, is a charmingly whimsical perennial plant admired for its vibrant, uniquely-fringed flowers and silvery-green foliage. Available in hues of true-blue, pink, white, and purple, Centaurea provides a dramatic splash of color to gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows. Its singularly distinctive blooms are not only visually appealing but will also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Centaurea thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; its drought tolerance makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance and xeriscape gardens. These hardy perennial plants are deer-resistant and can naturalize easily, spreading gently to create an intriguing, carefree display year after year.
