Centaurea montana

Product information "Centaurea montana"

Mountain bluet is an extremely long flowering perennial. It has a broad, loosely branched habit and is about 40 cm high. Numerous, blue, cup-shaped flowers bloom above the lanceolate, partly pinnate foliage from May to August. Centaurea montana prefers locations in full sun with well-drained, dry, not too fertile soil. Constantly moist locations should be avoided. This plant even does well in partial shade. It is particularly well suited for perennial beds, borders and natural plantings. It is also ideal as a cut flower. Pruning after the first bloom promotes a second bloom in autumn.
