Soft to the touch and bold in design, Centaurea ragusina 'Snowy Owl' is a striking perennial prized for its unique silver-white, woolly foliage that brings a soft, luminous touch to any garden. Native to coastal regions, this compact, mound-forming plant is grown primarily for its ornamental leaves, which resemble a snowy owl's feathers - hence the name. Reaching about 45cm in height and spread, it makes an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, containers, or as a silvery contrast among colourful blooms. ‘Snowy Owl’ thrives in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil, showing exceptional drought tolerance once established. Though it may produce small, bright yellow flowers in summer, it is most valued for its dramatic, textured foliage that provides year-round visual interest in milder climates. This deer and rabbit resistant plant is easy to grow, low-maintenance, and adds elegance to Mediterranean, coastal, or xeriscape designs. Whether used as a soft edging plant or a focal point in a mixed planting, Centaurea 'Snowy Owl' brings a cool, sophisticated vibe to modern landscapes.
