Description

Seed-grown Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) fits naturally into garden borders and beds. This annual garden plant needs full sun, moderately fertile, well-drained soil, and steady early care while seedlings establish.

Begin with a prepared bed or container and sow at the appropriate depth for the crop. Water when the soil surface begins to dry as seedlings emerge, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
