Tyrol Knapweed
Centaurea nigrescens
Centaurea nigrescens is a hardy perennial wildflower in the daisy family (Asteraceae), native to the mountain meadows of Central and Southeastern Europe. Its erect, branching stems bear thistle-like purplish-pink flower heads with distinctively dark, fringed bracts from summer into fall. Though prized in wildflower and pollinator gardens for its tough, low-maintenance nature, it has also naturalized widely outside its native range and is regulated as a noxious weed in parts of North America, so check local regulations before planting.
