Good plant #59 - Centauraea Cyanus 'Dwarf Blue MIdget'

I like most cornflowers and especially dwarf varieties. Dwarf varieties are not as leggy and prone to wind damage.

Cornflowers are guaranteed to bring in beneficial insects and will reliably bloom and produce masses of seeds for the following year. In fact, once you got them, you'll have them for good unless you remove the seed heads.

This hardy annual can be sown in autumn or early spring where you want them to flower - ideally in a very sunny spot. I try to sow thinly and then spread them out to about 10" apart.
