Afternoon everyone

Would someone know what this flower is called and what site it need to be planted in, i.e. sun, shade etc.

Thanks in advance.

It's a Centaurea Montana. Common name "Mountain Cornflower". It does best in a moisture retentive soil and is equally at home in sun or partial shade. Here's a link for you to look at.

Took some from the MIL and she couldn't remember what it was called.
