Beloved by bees and pollinators, beautiful, informal and just perfect for a cottage garden. Cornflowers make a brilliant-cut flower as they last so well in a vase and look wonderful amongst other blooms.
This variety is a soft lavender colour, an incredibly delicate and pretty flower yet robust, easy to grow and a great self-seeder. Keep cutting and the flowers will keep on coming.

| Sow Seeds |
Sow in September for larger, stronger plants and/or in late April. Can be sown in modules to transplant later or directly into the soil. Pre-water the soil before sowing. Sow thinly and cover only very lightly. Do not let the soil dry out. Grow in poor, well-drained soil and in full sun, and it is advisable to grow through some netting as they are prone to flopping over in high winds without support. |
