This gorgeous Cornflower has large, bright blue flowers and strong tall grey-green stems. It is very hardy and one of the easiest flowers to grow; the masses of colourful flower heads produced will be simply stunning. Brilliant as a cut flower, for drying, for confetti and perfect for bees and butterflies. Sow in spring for summer flowers then sow again in autumn. From an autumn sowing cornflowers produce the largest plants and masses of flowers.
