Care Information

How to grow cornflowers:

  • Sow 0.5cm (¼in) deep, directly into prepared, well-drained soil
  • Before sowing, rake the soil to a fine tilth and water well
  • When seedlings appear in (usually 14-28 days), thin them to 20cm (8in) apart.
  • Water well and regularly until plants are established.
  • Keep plants weed free to avoid competition.
  • For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals.
  • For a more natural effect, sow in curves or loose blocks
  • Flowers: June-September. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings.
