Cornflower - Centaurea cyanus 'Ball Pink'

Centaurea Cyanus or Cornflower

Not your classic bright blue cornflower but now in a very beautiful pink color.
Cornflowers benefit greatly from sheltered sowing in a cold greenhouse/conservatory in the autumn as a hardy annual. This will give you taller, sturdier plants in the spring. But you can of course also sow them in the spring.

Feel free to keep cutting this plant, so you will always have new stems. The bees love it too.

Type: hardy annual
Location: Full sun
Height: 75 cm to 140 cm (when sowing in autumn)
