I got these seeds to grow for a Bible study group over Easter. I’m very happy with how many sprouted, and they grew to about a foot tall and flowered within a month!
I had some extras since I assumed some wouldn’t sprout, and they look beautiful in my garden and are thriving!

Product Description
Beautiful Feature Flower
This cornflower puts forth airy blooms of a vibrant pink, and is sure to attract plenty of attention in the garden or landscape!
Cornflower (Centaurea Dealbata)
If you are in need of a consistent producer of cut flowers, then look no further than this variety of cornflower! Centaurea Dealbata is a perennial cousin of the common Bachelor's Button. Commonly known as Persian Cornflower, this perennial puts forth showy pink-lavender blooms atop clump-forming drought tolerant plants.
These hardy plants look great in the border and are especially attractive when planted in a mass display. Care for these plants includes deadheading, as well as potentially staking if the soil is rich. After blooming, the plants may be trimmed back to help maintain a compact habit. Even though it is a perennial, Cornflower dealbata will bloom in its first growing year when started from seeds.
Showy Perennial
How to Grow
It is most ideal to start these seeds indoors before transplanting outside. Plant the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow the seeds into flats or small pots.
Keep the seeds moist until germination, which will occur within 2-4 weeks under proper conditions. Once seedlings are established and frost danger has passed, they can be transplanted directly outdoors.
Cornflower plants should be fertilized with a slow-release fertilizer. Plants can be pinched when young to encourage bushier growth.

Great seeds!
Gosh. I threw a good handful into a pot of soil and watered once, and they practically exploded out of the soil in 2 days! And I bought these last year! Outsidepride is always my favorite for bulk seeds.
