Centaurea cyanus

Easy to grow flowers on 24-36” plants. Garden standard, makes a cute addition to bouquets and borders. Flowers in a variety of pastels, white, and dark purple. Attractive foliage is ferny and full.  Mildly frost tolerant, quick to grow in spring.  Reseeds readily.

We prefer to direct sow 3-4 weeks prior to last frost date. Tolerant of a light frost. Cover very lightly. Grows easily when direct sown, so that is preferred. Or, start indoors 8 weeks before last frost date to get a head start. Transplants quite well provided it is kept moist during the establishment process.
