Cornflower seeds (Centaurea cyanus) - robust cool flower <ai>

Cornflowers appear light and unobtrusive with their delicate blooms and give beds and flowering areas a natural, open character. In this category you will find cornflower seeds that produce plants with different flower colours and growth habits - from the well-known blue cornflower to modern colour variations.

The cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) is a traditional arable and meadow plant that is now particularly valued in natural-style gardens, flower beds and flowering areas. It is one of the especially robust cool flowers and can - depending on weather conditions - be sown in autumn or very early in spring.

In addition to the classic blue-flowering cornflower, there are varieties in white, pink, violet or purple tones. Depending on the variety, cornflowers grow compactly or loosely branched and reach different heights, making them highly versatile.

Cornflowers are not only ornamental plants, but also have edible flowers. These can be used fresh as a decorative element for dishes or dried. Dried cornflower petals are also often used in tea blends, where they are mainly appreciated for their colour.

Thanks to their loose growth habit and low demands, cornflowers are particularly suitable for natural plantings, cottage gardens and flowering strips. They can easily be combined with other annual summer flowers.
