Description
Cornflowers are so easy to grow and are often some of the earliest annuals to bloom in the garden or meadow. World-famous “cornflower blue” is the bluest blue in the flower kingdom, and that makes this many people’s favorite flower. Easy to grow, quick to bloom, great for cutting. Strong seedlings have a “silvery” look in a seeded meadow. In fact, cornflower grows so well, it has become somewhat of a pest in some areas, most notably the Southeast. Birds love seed. American goldfinches (wild canaries), particularly, put on quite a show as they dive into fields of this flower when it is going to seed. This is the famous flower of many romantic legends, thus the name “Bachelor’s Button”. Young single girls wore the bloom as a signal of availability in Old England. It also always figures prominently in the Victorian "Language of Flowers"--of which there are several versions.

"This was a test plot. In hopes . . . . . red, white and blue by 4th of July in Southern Indiana. It was beautiful ! Will do again."
Bloomed like crazy
"These grew and bloomed like crazy the first year. I sowed seeds in the fall and let them cold-stratify as instructed. I'm a beginner trying to start a wildflower garden so it was wonderful to have something pretty this first year while everything is getting established. They did not do as well in the poor soil near my driveway but they keep going and going in my back garden plot."
great mix
"we used it with other mixes and it was great"
excellent growth
"These flowers grew in great proliferation. The colors were outstanding and they made great cut flowers for inside as well as being a big draw for bees and hummingbirds."
