The flowers of Cornflower ‘Red Boy’ retain the informal looks of traditional blue cornflowers but come in an eye-catching deep pink. The long stems are perfect for cutting and will last up to 7 days in a vase. Perfect for annual meadow schemes, and is extremely attractive to bees.

For best results, grow Cornflowers in moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. The wiry plants may need support in exposed situations. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering in summer, but leave seeds to develop towards autumn, as these will provide food for birds.

• Standard pack: 100 seeds
