Product description
Cornflower 'Double Blue' is a classic cottage garden favourite, celebrated for its vivid, true-blue blooms and charming, frilly petals. As the name suggests, this variety produces fully double flowers on tall, slender stems, making it a standout in borders, wildflower meadows, and cutting gardens. Its rich colour and soft texture add elegance and vibrancy to any planting scheme.
Easy to grow from seed, 'Double Blue' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, flowering from June to September. It’s ideal for direct sowing and performs beautifully in informal beds or alongside other annuals. Sow directly outside from March to May and rake the seeds in gently. Alternatively, choose a sheltered, sunny spot and sow in September for an earlier bloom. With minimal care, these Cornflower seeds produce a profusion of long-stemmed blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators into the garden.
Whether you're creating a traditional garden display or a cheerful bouquet, Cornflower 'Double Blue' offers reliable performance and timeless beauty. Its intense colour, low-maintenance nature, and wildlife appeal make it a must-have for gardeners of all levels.
