Centaurea simplicicaulis (Pink Cornflower) 1 qt.
Beloved for its abundant and long-blooming lavender-pink frilly “pom-pom” flowers atop 8-inch stems, this plant is also very long-lived and incredibly resilient in just about any sunny landscape! Each plant is only ~4 inches high, but will spread out ~18-24 inches!
The flower color is complemented by the silvery-green, deeply-cut foliage that grows in a low, dense mat, providing great soil coverage and looking fresh even in hot summers with no water, once established. Use this plant to edge a border, as a groundcover, between flagstones, or just anywhere you want to enjoy seemingly never-ending cheerful blooms all summer long.
Not only will you enjoy the flowers, but so will bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds (but not the deer!). Leave the flowers in place for their interesting seed heads that add interest to your winter landscape and support overwintering beneficial insects.
