Centaurium discolor

Centaurium discolor is a petite, biennial herb that showcases clusters of striking pink flowers. The blooms possess a five-lobed corolla, often with a paler center, standing out in grasslands or meadows where it thrives in well-drained soil. Its narrow, opposing leaves and the unique two-toned coloration of its stems and foliage are key identification traits that highlight centaurium discolor's adaptation to attract pollinators in its native habitat.
