Description

Centaurea montana ‘Amethyst in Snow’ – Bachelor’s Button / Cornflower

One of the most exquisitely beautiful Centaureas available, ‘Amethyst in Snow’ is a showstopper in the border. Unique shingled buds open into lacy, delicate flowers with satiny white petals surrounding a deep royal purple center — a color combination that’s both striking and refined. Excellent as a cut or dried flower, it also performs beautifully in borders and rock gardens, attracting bees and butterflies throughout spring and summer. Drought and clay tolerant, deer resistant, and holding a US Plant Patent (USPP18,284) for its exceptional form.
