(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 Pop- 
pies. You should make sowings at intervals 
of 3 weeks, beginning in early May.
