All Products > Garden Products > Seeds & Bulbs > Seeds > Flower & Plant Seeds
Product Information:
Position: full sun Soil: well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: hardy annual Piercing, bright blue flowers with ruffled petals and violet-blue centres appear from early to late summer among lance-shaped, mid-green leaves.
Once a common sight in cornfields, this lovely annual is perfect for naturalising in a sunny wildflower meadow and is a magnet for butterflies and bees.
The flower petals are edible and have a clove-like taste. Garden care: Wild flowers prefer poor soils, so do not apply fertiliser.
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. In autumn, cut the faded flowerheads down to the ground and compost the dead stems.
