Cornflower is a hardy and easy-to-grow annual plant that reaches 60-90 cm in height. Its distinctive fringed flowers, an intense purple-red color so dark they appear almost black, are among the most iconic symbols of flowerbeds and give flowerbeds a spontaneous and natural look. Its long flowering period, from late spring through summer, attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, while its slender yet sturdy stems also make it particularly popular as a cut flower for bouquets with a simple, rustic elegance.
