Chrome Fountain Centaurea
Centaurea ‘Chrome Fountain’
 
Add texture, movement, and silvery elegance to your garden with the striking Chrome Fountain Centaurea. This unique perennial features finely cut, silvery-gray foliage that forms a soft, mounding clump reminiscent of a shimmering fountain—hence the name. Its silvery leaves provide a striking contrast to green foliage and colorful blooms in mixed borders, rock gardens, and drought-tolerant landscapes.
 
In late spring to early summer, small thistle-like flowers may appear in soft purple or blue hues, adding a delicate touch to the plant’s dramatic form. However, Chrome Fountain is often grown for its highly ornamental foliage, which remains attractive throughout the growing season.
 
This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an ideal choice for xeriscaping, Mediterranean-style gardens, and modern landscape designs. Whether used as an accent, edging, or mass planting, Chrome Fountain Centaurea offers year-round texture and a cool, contemporary aesthetic.
 
Bring a touch of silver sophistication and soft texture to your garden with the graceful form of Chrome Fountain Centaurea.
