Armenian Basket Flower
Centaurea macrocephala
This seldom seen perennial flower produces large quantities of 3 inch thistle-like flowers ( NO thorns!) and are superb in fresh or dried arrangements. Very popular with crafters and dried flower arrangers! Blooms in late spring and summer. Grows 3-4 feet tall. Best for forgotten or hard to reach areas in the garden because established plants are drought resistant and almost indestructible. Flowers attract butterflies and humming birds. Should be divided every 3-4 years.
Full sun
is best for this rugged perennial
A well drained, light soil is preferred, but will adapt to most types, including
clay. Somewhat drought tolerant once established.
Normal bloom time is late spring through early summer. Will repeat bloom
in late summer/fall if dead-headed after spring/summer bloom.
Height: 3 to 4 feet Width: 3 feet. A nice selection for those hard
to reach places at the back of the border. Not bothered by pests,
including Japanese Beetle!
Plant in spring or fall. Very rugged!
Winter hardy to zone 3.
