Centaurea Montana Purple Heart | 9cm Pot

An interesting new bicoloured form. Position: full sun Soil: well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to July Hardiness: fully hardy Purple-eyed flowerheads, each with a ruff of long white florets, form throughout the summer above the clumps of grey-green foliage, creating easy-going groundcover that will thrive in a sunny spot. It’s deal for a more naturalised setting – and the bees and butterflies love it too. Garden care: Stake with brushwood or bamboo canes before the flowers appear. Cut back to the ground after flowering and you may get a second flush of flowers. Lift and divide large clumps every three years in spring.
