Corncockle with its straight stems, purplish-pink flowers and silvery-grey foliage used to be a common sight in the wheat fields and along the roadsides. It must have been an idyllic, heartwarming sight to see. This is a happy easy-to-grow cut flower and a favourite of ours. If you keep cutting the flowers, it will keep producing more. Grow it once and you’ll be hooked!

From the start of spring to the end of summer, Corncockle provides a rich profusion of flowers. The ability to rebloom is a long-lasting addition to your garden.
