Cornflower, or Bachelor’s Button, is a popular annual flowering plant growing 16-35 inches tall. Cornflower plants grow quickly, and bloom heavily. The ease of planting this seed is compounded by its rewards as gardeners enjoy the butterflies and beneficial insects it attracts and the deer that it resists.
In folklore, blue cornflowers were worn by young men in love. Bring out your inner romantic by planting Cornflower seeds in any of the colors that Eden Brothers offers – blue, red, pink, white, and one we call “Almost Black”.
