Cornflower seeds — true-blue blooms for meadows and cutting

Cornflowers bring one of the purest blues in the whole garden — frilled, thistle-like flowers on wiry stems, a classic of wild meadows and cottage borders alike. The species sits under Centaurea cyanus within our flower seed range and our wildflowers. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide covers the basics.

Cornflowers are easy from a direct sowing — the calendar shows the timing.

Blue, and so much more

Beyond the famous blue, cornflowers come in pink, purple, white and near-black. Nectar-rich and long-lasting, they're brilliant for pollinators and a staple of the cut-flower patch, and the petals are edible.

Growing cornflowers from seed

Sow direct where they are to grow, in autumn for the biggest, earliest plants or in spring, in full sun and ordinary soil. Deadhead or cut regularly to keep them coming, and leave a few to self-seed and return.

Sowing a meadow or cutting patch? Here's where to look next.
