Plants
Hello,
Can anyone help me identify this plant please? Until this I have always cut it right back thinking it was a weed. I left it to grow this year and it's growing very well in my shady border.
Thanks

Centaurea montana.
Can be a bit thugish.

There is also a lovely dark variety, Centaurea Jordy.
There are ashtrays of emulsion,

I have a white version (sorry can't remember the name of it) it was covered in bees until I pointed my camera at it 😬
