Synonyms: Centratherum muticum
Called Brazilian Button Flower, this bushy perennial is native to Brazil.
Coming into bloom in a rather short period from seed, the
lavender-blue, button flowers to 1-1/4 inches are long lasting and borne
continually until frost. The flowers resemble tiny Canadian thistle flowers.
The refreshing resinous pineapple scented foliage would be a good candidate
for wreaths or potpourri.
The plant mounds 2' high to 3' across. It will occasionally reseed itself.
