Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

Centaurea cineraria, also known as Cliff Coneflower, is a shrub with refined silver-grey foliage. This bright cloud will delight anyone who dreams of spending their evenings in a moon garden to unwind from the stress of everyday life.

  • Habit and height: dense, very fast-growing shrub.
  • Foliage: bright grey and velvety, almost white in summer, thanks to a dense covering of fine hairs that restricts transpiration.
  • Flowering: in summer, small pinkish-purple flowers.
  • Hardiness: highly resistant to drought, salt spray, strong winds, pests and diseases.
  • Ideal for: flowerbeds, borders, terrace pots, white or moon gardens and coastal gardens.
  • Soil: well-drained, even poor and stony; it does not tolerate waterlogging.
  • Watering: sparingly: it is very drought-tolerant and excess moisture promotes fungal diseases.
  • Cleaning: remove the withered buds at the end of flowering.
  • Pruning: is often unnecessary; rejuvenation pruning approximately every 3 years.

In summer, in June and July, it produces small pink-purple flowers; however, it is grown mainly for its prized silver-gray foliage.

Easy and fast-growing, it should be planted in full sun in well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging, which it dislikes. Very resistant to drought, salt spray and wind, suitable for seaside gardens; rejuvenation pruning approximately every 3 years.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
