Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
If ever a plant were needed to give an impression of being connected by its roots to some kind of national power grid, that plant would be the mountain bluet (Centaurea montana), whose vivid blue petals have something of the flame on the gas hob or the scifi rip and crack of energy waves arcing between terminals. It’s just the kind of zing we need as the tulips fade and the forget-me-nots think about turning in for another year and, though these perennial cornflowers put themselves about a bit, verging marginally on the thuggish, I’m always pleased to see them reappear in time for the Spring Bank Holiday.
