Planting and care

The Trionfetti Centaury is a low-maintenance perennial, but it does have its preferences. It likes well-drained soils: therefore, do not hesitate to add sand if your soil is heavy. It appreciates fertile soils, but will tolerate poor substrate. It prefers to have some moisture in the soil, but will withstand occasional periods of drought. It will also survive in limestone soils and rocky terrain.

This perennial cornflower can be planted in sunny beds in spring or autumn and is not afraid of freezing temperatures. If the sun is really scorching in your region, you can place it in partial shade. After a few years, trailing rhizomes will generate new clumps. You can then move them. If planted in rocky soil, it can also self-seed abundantly.

Don't forget to remove faded flowers (or pick them in time to make lovely bouquets), as it will prolong the flowering period.
