Colchester White
Centaurea cineraria
This plant’s intricately cut, frosty-silver leaves bear creamy white, pin-cushion flowers, related to annual bachelor’s buttons. Its filigreed foliage forms a dome-shaped fountain that gleams by day and continues to shine as the sun dips below the horizon. Great in xeriscaping!
