Why Choose Cornflower Tall Mixed Colors?

• Colorful Variety: A blend of blue, purple, pink, red and white flowers creates a varied garden display and offers plenty of bouquet combinations.
• Tall Garden Accent: Plants reaching about 36 inches add height and depth behind shorter flowers.
• Cut-Flower Favorite: Distinctive blooms and long stems bring cottage-garden character to fresh arrangements.
• Pollinator Interest: Flowers welcome bees and other visiting insects to your garden.
• Heirloom and Open-Pollinated: Grow a traditional variety and explore seed saving while allowing for natural variation within the mix.

Planting Tips for Success

• Location: Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Work compost into the bed before planting.
• Sowing: Direct sow in prepared soil during cool spring weather. In mild-winter areas, fall sowing may also be suitable; follow regional timing guidance and packet instructions.
• Seedbed Care: Cover seeds lightly and keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination without leaving it waterlogged.
• Spacing: Thin crowded seedlings to give plants airflow and room to develop sturdy branching stems.
• Watering: Water at soil level when needed, allowing the soil to drain between waterings.
• Fertilizing: Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Use fertilizer only as needed for your soil and according to its label.
• Support: In windy or exposed sites, provide discreet stakes or flower-support netting for tall stems.
• Flower Care: Remove faded blooms to encourage continued flowering. Cut bouquet stems with clean tools and place them promptly in fresh water.
