Does anyone have any of the "everlasting cornflower/Mountain bluet- Centaurea montana/knapweed" in their gardens? Recommended? It looks nice and is likely to grow in my "wildflower area" bearing in mind it is growing nearby in similar conditions.
I have Centaurea Montana in my holding beds, dug up from a previous garden. I love it. My mother grows Amethyst in Snow, a beautiful white variety with a dark center. Now that I think of it, I should check to see if it survived the winter - they're normally pretty hardy, though.

I was actually wondering if I could dig up one of those growing wild and put it in my garden.
I had a look at the Amethyst in Snow - plants available for delivery at the end of July I presume that must mean "garden ready". When does yours normally flower?
Is that spikey flower in photo no. 1 actually growing from the geranium or is coming out of the ground separately?
Sorry I cannot check as I took the photo on a unkempt pathway a couple of km from where I live. Also I could not find that particular flower the last time I was there.
It could well be something else growing from between the geranium leaves.
