Very pretty
I have included these in a herbaceous bed to give more privacy to a seating area during the summer and I am very pleased with the effect - a summer screening bed of very pretty and healthy perennials.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

The hot summer took its toll and I thought I had lost it -but come September it perked up and was flowering well into November. A beautiful, unusually coloured flower that I paired with other Centaurea colours, also from Crocus. From the baby plants around it looks like there may be some 'sports' next year.
Bonnecca
Somerset
Planted at the edge of a sunny border. It did very well with no looking after, flowered nicely and multiplied. I have already divided, after one year, to add to another spot in the garden.

A lovely front of border plant. Doesn't like too much shading. It is really pretty and a great addition.

Plant arrived in healthy condition but too late to plant out (my fault). Overwintered it in it's pot that it arrived in in a sheltered spot and already is sprouting ready to be planted out as soon as the frosts have gone. I will place it in the front/mid border.

This species of Centaurea whilst seeming to be delicate, is a sturdy and reliable addition to my border
Daisy doe

A very noticeable plant. As a rule the plants start off small (although the flower head is not small but is very light weight (being 'spikey' in appearance) but soon multiply into a large clump after a year or so and then can be dug up and broken down into several 'clumps'. This plant attracts the pollinators but is an easy plant to look after.
