Bright blue perennial form of cornflower.  Low growing, 26” tall plant for front of border or containers.  Grows in full sun and is drought tolerant, growing well in poor soil. Blooms from May to June and if deadheaded, reblooms late summer.  Perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8. 

 

Seed sowing instructions: Sow seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date on the surface of a moistened, good seed-starting mix. Cover seed lightly with fine grit or seed-starting mix, provide light and keep moist, in cooler temperatures, about 65-68 degrees F.  After germination grow on in cool temps. They can then be transplanted out when large enough to handle and temperatures stay above freezing.
