Description
Centaurea triumfettii represents a polymorphic group with 12 subspecies, which are a bit hard to differentiate. This one forms a clump about 30- 60 cm high, with narrow green-grayish, felty leaves and flowers in various shades of purple, red and deep mauve.
The mother plants were grown from wild collected seeds in the Carpathian Mts.
Like all other knapweeds it is an excellent pollinator plant; great in any full sun location in the flower border, rock or scree garden. I recommend though to be grown in the rock garden (on the ‘lean side’) otherwise it may grow taller/lots of foliage in detriment of flowering.
Germination: easy to grow from seed, it is a warm germinator, sow in the spring.
