Description

DeepL Translate

Dense double flowers of beautiful deep sky blue are freely produced on compact, bushy plants. Excellent for cutting and a magnet for bees and butterflies in the garden.

Hardiness: Hardy

Sowing info: Sow cornflowers on the surface of a good quality seed compost at a temperature of 18-23ºC (65-73ºF) and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

Growing info: Sow cornflower seeds outdoors where they are to grow from March to April. Choose a position in full sun on well drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 3mm (1/8") in drills spaced 30cm (12") apart. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 14-21days. When cornflower seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 15cm (6") apart.

Flowering: June, July, August

Contains approx: 400 seeds
