Serratula seoanei


Serratula seoanei (Serratula seoanei)

This was a new one on me! It's a small plant, and it flowers in September, so this is its first bloom. Until the flower opens, the plant looks just like a french marigold!

Interesting, and the flowers like a centaurea. I like it.

It's new to me too Spritz.

Greenthumb i agree, it does look like Centaurea.

It's always good to find a nice flower for the end of the season too.

Yes - and very unusual, too. I should have bought more, but you can always think that, can't you!

You can Spritz and may be you will be able to take cuttings or split it if it get larger.

It would be nice to know - I suspect that it might set seed, with flowerhead like these.

Then you have saved money for another plant if it does set seed.:o)
