Cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus Red Ball) - Start some Bachelor's Button seeds and add a touch of drama to the flower border with this, red variety! What a lovely sight, especially when planted in mass. Cornflowers got their name in Europe, where they are often found growing in different farm crops.

Attract pollinators

Cornflowers are very attractive to both bees and butterflies, but deer leave the plants alone. They are annuals, but they can re-seed themselves, dropping their own flower seeds to produce another display for the next season.

How To Grow Cornflower From Seed: Directly sow red Bachelor's Button seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Prepare the seedbed by loosening soil and weeding. Sow the flower seeds in rows.

Thin seedlings to approximately six to twelve inches apart(15-25cm). In mild winter climates, cornflower seed can be sown in the fall for very early blooms the following spring. The first blooms appear 10–12 weeks after planting, and last for about a month. Successive plantings can extend the bloom period.
