Catananche caerulea

Catananche caerulea, commonly known as blue-flowered Cupid's dart, is a delightful perennial that adds a touch of charm to any garden. With its dainty violet-blue, daisy-like blooms and dark central eye, it’s a plant that captures attention without being overly flashy. The soft, paper-like seedheads that follow the flowers continue to draw interest long after the petals have faded, creating a beautifully textured contrast in your garden. Whether planted in borders, cottage gardens, or wildflower meadows, Catananche caerulea offers a reliable display of colour from mid to late summer.

Reaching a height of 50cm to even 1m, Catananche caerulea brings vertical interest and a light, airy feel to your garden. The sturdy stems hold the blooms upright, while the delicate seedheads provide lasting beauty. Perfect for creating a soft, romantic feel, blue-flowered Cupid's dart works wonderfully as a cut flower, adding that wildflower elegance to floral arrangements. The plant thrives in well-drained, sunny spots and is a great addition to areas where a splash of colour and texture is needed. For a garden that’s both lovely and low-maintenance, Catananche caerulea is a delightful choice that’s sure to make you fall in love with its understated beauty.
