Probably on Goy, but I'm certain I've seen the name before.
Hmmm.

I'm used to the other centaurea's but this one I've not seen I ment Mouldy :-)

Probably on one of your pages that I've seen the name before, Surrey.
Memory like a goldfish on Mogadon, me! Lol.

Lol Mouldy :-)

Yes Paul, compleatly hardy, this has been out all winter.

(Mouldy slaps his forehead in a dramatic manner)
Cyanus & Black Ball.

Lol :-)

Lucky there was a 'cy' or my comment would have been flagged. Lol.

Lol yes mate :-)

I thought they were all annuals?

No mate there are some nice perennial ones too, this is one of them I have I think 3 now.

That's another option for me to consider for next year.
Very interesting!

Good to have choices mate :-)

This year it was a matter of chucking in what I could find to get in a bit of colour for summer.
I believe it's called blind panic. Lol.
I'll be better prepared next year.
Live & learn, eh?

Best way mate :-)

Yes your right Hb, they do tend to spread a bit, but I just lift and divide like you a bit ruthless, the yellow one is it c.dealbata? I've just planted out some seedlings of that one.

Sorry not dealbata , although i have sown seed of that one too, I meant c.macrocephala

Ok :-)
