When to Sow Classic Fantastic Cornflower Seeds

Sow March to June or late August September.

Flowers

June to August.

Where to Sow

Sow in shallow drills in a weed free flowering site. Just rake into the surface to create and eye-catching mass display. Alternatively sow 1-2 seeds per modular tray, and cover seedlings with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite, and once large enough, plant out in borders once hardened off. 
Cornflowers can also be sown in a sheltered position in September for an early spring flowering.                                                                                                         

What to do Next

Direct sown seedlings should not be transplanted. Thin out to avoid overcrowding. Although modules with established roots will be fine to move to final position. 

Handy Tip

Can be cut and used fresh but for a longer display hang cut stems upside down in a cool, dark, airy, dry place. Once fully dry (typically after a couple of weeks) they can be used in wreaths or dried flower arrangements.
