Pippa helping me in the garden - at least keeping me company - busy week continuing planting out from my pots and tidying up
Centaurea montana
I love Centaurea montana. Trying to grow it in my garden has been problematic but this spring I was so happy to see this one with lots of buds, a smaller plant with one bud and a couple of smaller plants after repotting some seedlings last year.
I couldn't decide if I should leave them in pots or plant out in the ground. Generally plants in the ground are at serious risk from slugs in my garden so I repotted these into larger pots so I could at least get some flowers this spring.
one of those plants from the first pic is very very fuzzy - I don't know if that's just natural variation or another species
