Corncockle Bianca is an elegant variety with large white flowers on long, straight stems. Once a common sight in the cornfields, now corncockles are more often seen growing in a beautiful cottage garden border.
They are good for a cut flower garden as they have a long vase life. They look amazing when tumbled into a vase with other informal flowers, or equally enchanting if displayed independently.
Easy to grow, either started undercover or sowed directly into the soil. Deadhead the flowers regularly to encourage more flowers. Self-seeds freely.

I have ordered many seeds from this website, the delivery is reasonable and so are the seeds. I get fantastic germination and am no expert. I have tried other seed companies and nothing compares. This is a very safe bet and one that you won’t regret.
Completely a beginner but they have germinated after a couple of days and seedlings seem to be coming along nicely, very healthy and happy little plants … seeds came in addition to sow a long package and all beautifully presented … will be a repeat customer
