A striking twist on the classic mountain cornflower,Centaurea montana ‘Amethyst in Snow’ is an eye-catching perennial with unique two-tone blooms. Each flower features snowy white outer petals surrounding a vivid amethyst-purple centre, creating a stunning contrast that lights up the border. Blooming in late spring and often reblooming later in the season, it’s a magnet for bees and butterflies, and its silvery-green foliage provides texture even when not in bloom. Tough, easy to grow, and drought tolerant once established – a perfect choice for cottage gardens, borders, or wildlife-friendly spaces.
Our plants can be planted all year round providing the ground isn't frozen or waterlogged at time of planting, for more infoclick here
