Hi Valerie, Try the Van Bourgondien Bros. Spring 99 catalog. In the
perennials section is Centaurea dealbata Rosea and the picture is identical
to Centaurea hypoleuca 'John Coutts' which I grow. It is truly a wonderful
plant, but the slugs consider it choice and will crawl over Hostas to get to
it. Be sure to use slug bait. Their web site is www.dutchbulbs.com or call
1-800-622-9997.

I need help finding a source for the above-mentioned perennial. Doing an
Internet search revealed some characteristics of the plant, but no sources.
I can find the more common centaureas, but this particular variety seems
elusive. It is a bushy, fern-like foliaged, hot pink flowering perennial.
It is described as being particularly hardy, much like other centaureas.
It's beautiful! I saw it in Rodale's new book "Perennial Combinations"
(chock full of glossy color pictures that are mostly identified).
Can anyone help me? It is now one of my must-haves to complete a
particular color combination I'm attempting.
