Centaurea montana

[teacher]
The Mountain Cornflower (Centaurea montana) is an easy to grow, upright perennial which forms large clumps which typically reach three feet tall. It begins producing it's bright flowers in late spring and will often continue blooming well into fall. The available colors include blue, white, red, pink, purple or white.

Centaurea montana is hardy in USDA zones 3-9. It requires full sun, but can be grown in most ordinary garden soil, provided that it is well draining. It is fairly drought tolerant. The clumps should be divided in the spring or fall, every 2-3 years.
