Sea centaury

Sea centaury is a charming small wildflower native to coastal and saline grassland habitats in Europe, producing delicate pink blooms that attract pollinators. It prefers a sunny to partly shaded position in well-drained, sandy or calcareous soil and appreciates moderate, consistent moisture. This plant has a traditional history of medicinal use as a bitter tonic and is a lovely addition to a native wildflower or cottage garden.
