Cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus Fantastic Mix) - For a beginning gardener, cornflower seed is a great flower seed to start with. The flower seeds are larger, so they are easy to handle, and they germinate easily and produce blue and white blooms in about 10 weeks after being planted. When your neighbors seed this mix of flower they will definitely be asking what you planted. Of course, you will know it's our Fantastic Cornflower seed mix. With long-lasting blue and white spring blooms, it is the perfection addition to any flower garden and great for xeriscaping.
The mature plants prefer full sun in mild climates and partial shade in the hottest regions. They tolerate a wide variety of soils as long as it drains well. Cornflowers perform the best in mild climates with moderate water, but they do tolerate drought. Centaurea Cyanus plants are very attractive to both bees and butterflies, but deer leave them alone. Bachelor's Button flowers also make an excellent cut flower for both fresh and dried arrangements.
Directly sow Bachelor's Button seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as soil can be worked. Prepare seedbed by loosening soil and weeding. Sow the flower seeds in rows, 6 seeds per foot. You will want to thing seedlings to 6 - 8 inches apart for best results. In mild winter climates, Cornflower seeds can be sown in the fall for very early blooms the following spring. Like many flowers in your garden, this wildflower can self-sow.
