Although it comes in pink and white, it s the blue variety that is the most striking. It s a great cut flower for arrangements and dries well. Check your nursery for cornflower seedlings.
Cornflower is also easy to grow from seed.
Plant seedlings outdoors about 6 inches apart. Plant a week or two before your region s last average frost date. Plant seeds about the same time, just barely covering with soil. Pull out cornflower in fall, as soon as frost kills it. Avoid planting cornflower in soil that s too rich.
