Cornflower ‘Classic Romantic’
Approx. 100 seeds.
A soft, cottage‑garden blend of traditional cornflowers in romantic shades of pink, blush, white and pastel tones. ‘Classic Romantic’ brings a gentler palette than the usual blues, making it perfect for borders, cutting gardens and wildflower‑style planting. Plants are upright, airy and long‑flowering, producing masses of dainty blooms that pollinators adore.
Easy to grow and reliable, cornflowers thrive in full sun and well‑drained soil. Sow in spring for summer flowering or sow in autumn for earlier, stronger plants the following year. Ideal for cut flowers — pick regularly to keep blooms coming.
