Synonym(s) Centratherum intermedium Common name Brazilian buttons Family asteraceae Life cycle tender perennial (Z8-11) Flowers blue (late spring-summer) Size 24" Light sun From seed germinate at room temperature with exposure to light detailed seed-starting info below I'm glad this performs well as an annual, since it stands no chance of surviving winter here. I liked the buds, which had a rosy cast before they opened to blue-purple fluffy flowers. the bluish-green leaves, prominently veined and serrated, are nice too.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: cutting garden, bogside border
