Cornflowers are an old-fashioned cottage garden classic that self-sow freely and attract butterflies. They make great cut flowers too. These easy-to-grow wildflower beauties thrive in full sun and average soils. Blooms appear in early summer and will continue for weeks if spent blossoms are regularly removed.


This listing is for 150 cornflower seeds packaged in a resealable plastic seed packet. Seeds are from the current year's crop and stored properly to preserve viability.


Cornflowers grow readily from seed sown directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Simply sprinkle them over prepared soil, lightly cover with 1/4 inch of fine soil or compost, keep moist and watch them bloom in about 8-10 weeks. They also transplant well if started indoors 4-6 weeks before last spring frost date.


Attract pollinators and add charming, natural beauty to any sunny garden spot, borders, containers or wildflower meadow with these lovely heirloom cornflower seeds. An excellent choice for cottage gardens, cutting gardens and butterfly habitats.
