🌱 Planting & Care
Plant seeds directly outdoors in spring around the time of your last frost. Cornflowers prefer a sunny location and can be lightly covered with soil after sowing. Keep the soil lightly moist during germination and while young plants become established.
Once growing, they require very little attention and perform beautifully in sunny garden spaces.
✂️ Keep the Blooms Coming
Cornflowers typically begin blooming in late spring to early summer. Regularly cutting flowers for bouquets or removing spent blooms can encourage the plants to continue producing flowers throughout the growing season.
Allow some flowers to mature and develop seed at the end of the season if you would like them to naturally self-seed for the following year.
💐 Perfect for Cut Flower Gardens
Bachelor’s Buttons make wonderful cut flowers, adding beautiful color and texture to fresh bouquets. Their upright growth also makes them easy to mix among other annuals and perennials for a classic cottage-garden appearance.
