Kent Wildflower Seeds - Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)

£5.00

Attracting bees and butterflies with their instantly recognisable blue flowers, cornflowers are equally happy in a cottage garden or wildflower meadow. Their petals can be used fresh as a cake decoration or salad garnish or dried as confetti. Sow in autumn for extra strong, early-flowering plants and again in spring to keep the flowers coming until autumn. 

  • Best grown in full sun in well-drained, relatively poor soil
  • Sow April - September directly into a prepared seedbed
  • Packet dimensions: 8.5 cm x 14 cm
  • Pack contains enough to fill a plot measuring 1 square metre
  • High pollen and nectar availability to support native insects and other wildlife
  • Grown in Kent, England
