Cornflower Blue Ball

Sow Outdoors: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Scatter the seeds and press them lightly into the soil, as they need light to germinate. You can also lightly cover them with soil if you prefer.

Germination: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically takes 7–14 days.

Thinning: Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 6–12 inches apart, depending on the final plant size.

Sunlight and Care: Cornflowers thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid overwatering, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.

Blue Ball is a vibrant, single-flower variety of cornflower with stunning, large blue blossoms that attract bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to wildflower gardens, borders, or flower beds.
