Centurea ‘Purple Heart’

Centaurea montana ‘Purple Heart’ is a striking variety with white, spidery flowerheads with a violet-purple centre. It’s more tolerant of dry soils than other varieties, and may be grown in sunny borders and gravel gardens. Like other cultivars, ‘Purple Heart’ is easy-to-grow, bearing clumps of mid-green leaves that perfectly complement early summer flowers. Remove spent flower stems to prolong flowering.

Prefers full sun / part shade and a free draining soil.
