BUYERS NOTES
Cornflowers are a cottage garden staple. This patriotic blend adds a real injection of colour to annual boarders and large containers. Can also be direct sown in between larger perennials and shrubs as a seasonal gap filler. The three strong colours look great in vase and posie displays too.
Sowing Information:
Sow cornflower seeds outdoors where they are to grow. Choose a position in full sun on well-drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 3mm (1/8in) in drills spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 14-21 days. When cornflower seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 15cm (6in) apart.
Growing Information:
Alternatively, grow cornflowers indoors from August to September for early summer flowering next year. Sow on the service of a good quality seed compost at a temperature of 18-23C (65-73F) and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Do not excluse light as this helps germination. Overwinter in cool, lightl, frose-free conditions before planting out the following spring, or growing on as greenhouse pot plants.
