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 3 weeks, beginning in early May.

Lovely annuals, far too little known, for they are truly beautiful. 
Like a spray of apple-blossoms, the tall spikes are covered with hand-

the cold frame in March and make successive sowings outdoors in May 
and June. If planted in very rich soil and supported by stakes, they 
will produce lovely strong spikes.
