Elevate your garden with the charming allure of Centaurea montana 'Mountain Blue', also known as Mountain Bluet or Perennial Cornflower. This robust perennial, native to the majestic peaks of Europe, is celebrated for its striking, solitary blooms—deep fringed blue flowers with reddish blue centers and black-edged involucre bracts that captivate the eye. Forming a dense, clump of silvery green foliage, this plant reaches up to 2 feet in height and width, making it an exquisite addition to any garden setting.

Mountain Bluet thrives in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils under full sun and is tolerant of drought and poor soil conditions. Its resilience is matched by its beauty, attracting bees and butterflies throughout the blooming season. For renewed blooms in the fall, simply deadhead after its first spectacular show of flowers. Ideal for meadows, naturalized areas, or along walkways, this perennial pairs beautifully with catmint or lupine. Long-lasting as cut flowers, Centaurea montana's captivating beauty also enhances wildflower settings. For optimal growth, divide the plant every 2-3 years. Embrace the natural elegance and low-maintenance charm of Mountain Bluet in your landscape.
