Basket Flower

110 days. (Centaurea americana) Huge blooms are so easy to grow! This gorgeous, native annual wildflower will beckon droves of pollinators to your landscape! The deeply incised foliaged and pincushion blooms of basketflower are reminiscent of giant Bachelor’s Buttons, and this flower is a close relative. In fact, they are very welcoming to a bevy of beneficial beings, from insects to hummingbirds and even bobwhite quail! Pink basketflower ranges from 2 to 6 feet tall depending on location and soil. This is a top choice for pollinator buffer zones on farms, meadows, and pollinator gardens.
