    I have this perennial growing in my yard and I can't identify it. It grows similar to a peony and the flowers seem to attract ants in the same way. Any help on what it is would be great! Thanks so much.

    Hey, thanks so much for the help! I think it's Centaurea montana.

    Yes, Centaurea montana (Perennial Cornflower).
