Centaurea cyanus
And for those who don't just want the classic blue cornflower, I have just the thing!
A dreamy mixture in wonderful, delicate colours. Uncomplicated and eagerly blooming.
If you have time to cut wilted flowers, they will reward you by blossoming more and more. Bees, bumblebees and butterflies are delighted!
Excellent for natural gardens and flower meadows. Good cut and dry flower.
