Greater centaury
Centaurea scabiosa
Greater centaury is a tough, low-maintenance perennial that thrives in well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during the first season to establish roots, then reduce frequency as the plant becomes more self-sufficient. It is an excellent choice for wildflower meadows and naturalistic garden settings.
