On a roadside verge by a cottage was this fine plant of Centaurea macrocephala (giant knapweed, Aremanian basket flower). This herbaceous perennial has stiff stems carrying large, shining buds of brown papery scales from which burst the yellow thread-like flower petals.

Plant of the Day

In a cottage garden on Orkney, Scotland, this Centaurea montana ‘Amethyst in Snow’ (perennial cornflower) was creating a display and attracting the bumblebees. This herbaceous plant will thrive in a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade and is drought tolerant once established.
