This double flowering cornflower mix produces layered, ruffled blooms in a range of tones such as white, pink, and purple, creating a varied look across the planting area. As an annual, it is valued for quick seasonal impact and for pairing easily with other annual flower seeds for borders and cottage-style combinations.

Colour Range, Height, and Garden Uses
These centaurea cyanus seeds develop into upright plants that can reach around 90 cm in height, making them suitable for the middle or back of mixed borders. The mixed color cornflower flowers sit on slender stems and are often chosen as easy cut flower seeds for fresh arrangements, where the fuller, double blooms add volume and detail. Place them in a bright, open position; they are well suited to full sun annual flowers and can be used to bring a meadow-like effect to a wildflower garden cornflower planting scheme.
