Commonly Asked Questions
Do cornflowers come back each year?
No, cornflowers are annuals, meaning they do not come back again the next year. However, in suitable locations, cornflowers reproduce by self-seeding, and new plants emerge the following spring.
Where is the best place to plant cornflowers?
Grow cornflowers as a gap-filler in any bare spots in borders, as part of a seed mix to create an annual flowering meadow, or in pots. Well-drained soil is best, and sun for at least half the day.
Do cornflowers spread?
Yes, perennial cornflowers spread quickly by means of underground stolons to cover any good, unplanted soil.
What time of year do you plant cornflowers?
Sow from March to May, and they will flower from June to September.
Will cornflowers grow in pots?
Yes, cornflowers can grow in pots. Use a general-purpose, peat-free potting compost mixed with a third by volume of coarse grit. Shorter-growing varieties are best for pots, as taller ones tend to flop without support.
