Can anyone identify this plant please?
Isle of Wight,
United Kingdom
I think this is a Centrum, however I have always grown more blue varieties. This one looks purple, can anyone tell me the variety please?

Are you sure it's not Centaurea montana??? I haven't ever seen a C. dealbata this dark - they are normally shades of pink.

It looks like Centaurea dealbata, the colours can vary between cultivars.
