Description:
Cornflowers are one of the first plants to flower in my border. They bring such a strong pop of colour and attract lots of bees. They are hardy and keep coming back each year
Care:
They're very easygoing and can be cut back after flowering to enable a second flourish of flowers later in the year. They form a good clump that can easily be divided in early spring.
Current appearance: Small plant
