Cornflower / Bachelor's Button
Centaurea cyanus (Asteraceae)                                                         
A drought tolerant annual, native to Europe, now naturalized throughout North America. The upper half of the plant is multi­-stemmed, producing many flowers. Leaves are covered with small white hairs causing the plant to have a blue­gray appearance. The original flower color is blue, but it is now available in white, pink and red. Prefers full sun in various soil types. An outstanding performer whether your preference is for cutting or admiring.
