Cornflower Tall Mix Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
 
Centaurea cyanus is a delightful collection of vibrant, large blooms in a variety of colours, including shades of blue, pink, purple, and white.
 
The Latin name Centaurea refers to the mythological centaur Chiron, known for his wisdom, while cyanus denotes the striking blue of many cornflower varieties. This mix offers a blend of tall-growing cornflowers, perfect for adding a burst of colour to borders, wildflower meadows, and cutting gardens. The flowers are also highly attractive to pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies.
 
Reaching an impressive height of 90-120 cm, this mix thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its upright growth habit and bold, large flowers make it ideal for back-of-border planting or as a focal point in any garden.

Sowing Instructions
 
Sow seeds outdoors from March to May in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Scatter seeds thinly over the surface and lightly press them into the soil, covering them with a thin layer. Keep the soil moist until germination, and thin seedlings to 25-30 cm apart as they grow to give them room to thrive.
 
For an earlier start, sow seeds indoors from February to April in seed trays filled with fine compost. Press seeds gently into the surface and maintain a temperature of 18-21°C. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost.
 
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and deadhead faded flowers to encourage prolonged blooming.
 
Cornflower Tall Mix is a perfect choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of colour, texture, and pollinator-friendly blooms to their garden, providing both beauty and ecological benefit.
