Does anyone know the name of this flower? I can’t remember what it is. It’s about a foot high.
Cornflower, or bachelor’s button
Specifically Centaurea montana, or perennial cornflower. There’s an annual version as well.
Thank you!
If those violets in the background get too weedy, you can cook the leaves and eat them like spinach.
Come to think of it, Centaurea montana can also get too rambunctious in the garden, although it is better behaved than Tony Montana.
