Scintillating centaureas
Article Abstract:
Centaureas offer gardeners a wide range of choices in species, colors, shapes and sizes, and are easy to grow in well drained neutral to alkaline soil. Although centaureas, also known as knapweed, can take over rangeland and are toxic to horses, they provide many benefits to wildlife. These include forage for caterpillars, nectar for butterflies and seeds for finches.
