Introducing the beautiful Cornflower Snowman, a truly gorgeous white cornflower.

Once a common sight in cornfields across the UK, before the use of herbicides, these native flowers are now a rare sight but thankfully live on in our gardens. They are a dream to grow. Easy, prolific, (producing endless amounts of flowers over several months if you keep on top of the dead-heading), beloved of butterflies and bees and will happily self-seed.

They also make excellent cut flowers, lasting for 5-7 days in a vase.

Loved by bees and flower lovers alike.  

Seed Quantity: 400 Seeds

Type: Annual

Genus: Centaurea cyanus

Sow Seeds: Sow in September for larger, stronger plants and/or in late April.  Can be sown in modules to transplant later or direct 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.

Plant Out: July- October.  Keep cutting and deadheading to encourage more blooms

Flowers: June-September

Height & Spread: 60-90cm high x 

30cm spread
