Centaurea ‘Mercury’

Description

Bright silvery-white, textured leaves resemble the color of liquid mercury, making for a superb foil in any large container. Bright yellow flowers appear on tall spikes in summer. A must-have for edging, rock gardens, and combination planting. Creates a dynamic contrast with its ruffled, shimmering silver leaves. Prefers full sun, or partial shade with free-draining soil or compost. Foliage can reach one foot tall. Photo courtesy of Rush Creek.
