Our Native Cornflowers were once very common sight around the British Isles in arable corn fields but now sadly becoming quite rare since industrialisation. This is a double blue form which blooms as little as 10 weeks after sowing. A beautiful cut flower, you can expect blooms to last 5-7days in your favourite vase. 
 
CULTURE – One of the easiest plants to grow. Thoroughly clear a patch of ground then literally sprinkle seeds liberally on top. Water the whole area & that’s it. The ultimate ‘sow & throw’ flower. Or, Sow Feb – April in seed trays undercover. Needs gentle warmth to germinate. When large enough transfer transfers to the final location once all rick of frost has pasted. Prefers poor soil. It is worth to note that these cornflowers really do need disturbed ground to grow as it is easily outcompeted by other plants. Often see with other cornfield ‘weeds’ such as Corn Poppy, Corn Marigold & Corn Chamomile which are perfect bedfellows.
