Centaurea orientalis - YELLOW KNAPWEED
Long-blooming perennial for dry sun, well drained soils, rock garden, gravel garden and xeriscape.
Usually 2' tall x 1-1.5' wide, lighter yellow thistle-like flowers, silver-green leaves, blooms from June to August.
Sun, drained soils with medium moisture to dry. Gritty, sandy, rocky soils preferable.

We don't have many experiences with this plant, since we just planted it in our raised sand bed, but we would recommend it to more experienced grower or someone with the right conditions.
