Centranthus General Information

Centranthus are long blooming and easy to grow. Flowers are produced from June all through the summer until frost. Best planted in groups. Freely self-seeds where happy. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Centranthus Plant Care

This self seeder makes a gorgeous mass of flowers. Spring cleanup is recommended. Cut back established plants to 4" or pinch to promote sturdier well-branched growth. Remove spent blossoms to promote rebloom. Can be divided every 1-3 years in spring. Thrives in poor soil. Flowers longer in cool conditions. Fertilize every other year in late fall or late winter.
