CENTAUREA CYANUS (Cornflower) 
Other popular names: Bachelor’s Buttons, Bluets, Ragged Sailor 
Extremely showy in the garden and fine for cutting. They are easy to 
grow, take care of themselves, bloom freely, and even come up again the 
next year from the seed that has dropped in the ground. Just sow the seed 
broadcast wherever you want the plants to grow. If the soil is rich, the 
flowers will be larger and will have longer stems. They are lovely if sown 
together with scarlet poppies. You should make sowings at intervals of 
three weeks, beginning in early May.

known, for they are truly beautiful.

strong spikes.
