Centaurea cyanus, or cornflower, is a slender annual with an upright, wiry habit reaching up to one meter. Its grey-green, lanceolate foliage complements the iconic, intense blue flowerheads that bloom throughout summer. Ideal for wildflower meadows and cut floral displays, this hardy species thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, even tolerating poor ground. It is a magnet for bees and butterflies, making it perfect for pollinator gardens. Regular deadheading helps prolong flowering.
