Centaurea seeds — cornflowers and easy meadow blues

Centaurea is the genus of the cornflower — slender, easy annuals and perennials whose intense blue (and pink, white and burgundy) blooms are a cottage-garden and meadow classic. The familiar annual is also gathered under our cornflower collection within the flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Sow at the right moment for a long, generous season — the calendar shows when.

A pollinator and meadow favourite

Few flowers offer such a true blue, and the nectar-rich heads are a magnet for bees and butterflies, making centaurea a natural for our pollinator flowers and a staple of relaxed wildflower plantings. The long, wiry stems are excellent for cutting too.

Growing centaurea from seed

Wonderfully easy — sow direct in autumn or spring where they are to flower, thin the seedlings, and give them a sunny, open spot. They cope well with poorer soils, and regular cutting keeps fresh blooms coming through the season.

Building a meadow or blue border? Here's where to look next.
