Centaurea Seeds

(Centaurea spp.)

Known for their thistle-like flowers and resilience in the garden, Centaurea species are hardy annuals or perennials well suited to Australian conditions. Often called cornflowers or knapweeds, they thrive in full sun and tolerate poor soils and dry spells. Their blooms attract pollinators and beneficial insects, and many varieties make excellent cut flowers. Ideal for wildflower gardens, borders, and low-maintenance plantings. Sow direct in autumn or early spring for best results. Reliable, ornamental, and ecologically valuable.
