Cornflower

[~Obsidian~]

More flowers for the back :D variety - tall mixed (80p packet).

Anybody else grown them? I haven't sown any seeds yet.

Yeah I grew some for a couple of years mixed in with poppys. The seeds are flyaway (mix with sand) and best planted in rows as they can be hard to differentiate from weeds.

They grow reasonably quick seem to survive slugs ad put on a nice display.

If they go to seed some of them will appear again (but not as nice) the following year.

Ok so I chucked some of these seeds in pots along with hollyhock and anthrrium seeds...but I dunno which is which loool :D What do the leaves of the cornflower look like? :confused:

Norra clue :confused: the flower seeds have been sytematically destroyed by the cats.

Kinda elongated
