Centaurea cyanoides, Blue Carpet, Syrian cornflower-thistle
The first seeds, which were planted in October, to produce flowers this year.
I had acquired the seeds from Chantal who runs
THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN SOCIETY Seed Exchange and they originated in Spain in 2018
The first flower opened on the first of March followed by more on 12th March
Now I wish I had planted them in a bigger container
This annual is mentioned in
