Centaurea montana 'Amethyst Dream' is a captivating perennial known for its striking, deep amethyst-blue flowers. This variety of mountain bluet stands out with its large, thistle-like blooms that are edged in silver, creating a dazzling contrast against the grey-green foliage. Blooming from late spring to early summer, 'Amethyst Dream' offers a prolonged display of color and can re-bloom in the fall if deadheaded. It's an excellent choice for adding vibrancy to borders, cottage gardens, and wildflower meadows. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, 'Amethyst Dream' is also valued for its ease of care, drought tolerance once established, and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
