Pink Passion Cornflower
Centaurea montana ‘Pink Passion’
Add a soft and unexpected twist to your garden with the delicate beauty of the Pink Passion Cornflower. A unique and eye-catching variety of Centaurea montana, this perennial features finely fringed, soft pink flowers with contrasting dark centers that bloom profusely in late spring to early summer. The charming, thistle-like blooms rise above mounds of silvery-green, lance-shaped foliage, bringing texture and subtle color to mixed borders and cottage gardens.
Unlike the traditional blue cornflower, Pink Passion offers a more romantic and refined look while retaining the easy-growing, pollinator-friendly qualities of its classic cousin. It's a magnet for bees and butterflies and performs well in a variety of garden settings, from wildflower meadows to more formal perennial beds.
Tolerant of poor soils and light drought, this low-maintenance perennial provides long-lasting interest with minimal care, and can even rebloom later in the season if deadheaded.
Bring soft elegance and pollinator appeal to your garden with the pastel charm of Pink Passion Cornflower—a fresh take on a classic favorite.
