They reproduce very easily. I had one two years ago and have potted up about 10 new plants from it.

Definitely Centaurea – cornflower. Not a weed. Unless you don’t want it there.

Centaurea – I love them! I keep trying to get the ‘amethyst in snow’ variety (flowers are white with purple centres) but I seem to be cursed…

Oh bloody hell…another plant to add to the wishlist. That is very pretty!
Seriously I am going to run out of space and what do I do then? There is only so much lawn the husband will let me steal for flower beds and my back garden is not big! I already have my eye on the front lawn too…

Centaurea (perennial cornflower).
You can get some plug plants & they should Flower this year.
People always warn me that these spread quickly.
Good.
The bees adore them.
