Centaurea montana 'Joyce'

This is a mound-forming perennial with silvery-green lance-shaped leaves which create the perfect backdrop for its striking pink cornflower flowers each with a dark pink centre.

C.m 'Joyce' spreads more slowly than other forms of Centaurea montana which can become a little too invasive when you only have a small space to fill. In order for it to thrive plant it in the full sun in any reasonable soil.

A fantastic plant for the front of a border, it is the perfect choice for relaxed 'Cottage Garden' style planting schemes. Deadhead to prolong flowering. When plants start to look untidy cut the whole plant back to encourage fresh foliage growth.

Height x Spread: 30cm x 45cm
