Cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus Dwarf Tom Pouce Pink) - Every cutting garden needs to have this pink Cornflower growing in it! Readily establish Cornflowers from flower seeds, and plant in masses for a spectacular display of color. This dwarf variety only reaches 30 - 45 cm (12 - 18 inches) tall and is a great height for borders and beds. Cornflowers make excellent cut flowers. The blooms last in the vase well, and they also dry nicely for everlasting arrangements.

Cornflowers are very attractive to both bees and butterflies, but deer leave the plants alone. Cornflowers are annuals, but they can self-sow, dropping their own flower seeds to provide next year's display.
