RE: Centaurea macrocephala

Centaurea macrocephala is a really nice plant, but the bloom time is pretty
short (*maybe* a month? -- probably depends on the weather).  It does not
rebloom.  This, again, I included in my garden for drying but have never
gotten around to drying it.  Mine is growing with a blue catmint and they
are very nice together.

As the plant base just "sits there" after blooming, the catmint helps fill
in for color the rest of the season.

For mine is a little old-fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
