Purple cornflower plant
Hi,
My favourite wildlife site WildaboutBritain.co.uk has closed down
I don't have a picture but what is the name of the wild flower ..
It stands about 2 feet tall and in a big clump, it has narrow sparse leaves, the leaves also seem to have a purple tint
It has cornflower (similar to) flowers i.e. 2 inches diameter frilly petals only they are purple (not blue like cornflowers)
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
It is Greater Knapweed - Centaurea Scabiosa - which is related to Centaurea Montana.
Thanks for helping.0
