Centaurea Incanescens

Blueweed, scientifically known as Centaurea incanescens, is a striking plant native to the Mediterranean region and parts of southern Europe. It is characterized by its blue to purple flower heads and silver-gray foliage, which give it a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This hardy perennial thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and wildflower landscapes. Its resilience and ornamental value have earned it a place in both horticultural and ecological discussions. Despite its beauty, Blueweed is often overlooked in favor of more commonly cultivated flowers.
