Centaurea Cyanus Plants


The yearly red cornflower is a slimmer plant of great appeal. Its rich colors of red are much popular, both for lawn decor and for plant bouquets. Garden types have added red, light red, lilac and white to large range, and even shiny yellow-colored is available in the carefully related lovely sultan Amberboa moschatus. The wiry vegetation may need some hidden support, and deadheading helps to extend the blooming season, as does fall planting, an option that will produce larger, earlier-flowering vegetation. This fully sturdy plant needs a warm site, growing in most well-drained ground types, even poor ground.
