Centaurea montana is a tall perennial cornflower with bright blue flowers that bloom in summer, rising above its soft, silver-green foliage.
The leaves are lanceolate, silvery-green and remarkably soft on the undersides.
The flowers resemble tiny little artichokes from which explode fireworks of bright blue petals, forming a unique shape atop tall slender stems.
Cousin to the cornflower, Centaurea montana is one of the quintessential wildflowers of Europe.
It is an extraordinarily hardy perennial and attracts multitudes of bees and butterflies in the summer.
A pollinator-friendly perennial, it is drought tolerant and mostly disease free — whilst bringing a particularly elegant color palette.
Sun-loving, Centaurea montana is a plant with a baroque aesthetic - corsetted, surrounded by butterflies and full of passion.
