Cornflower ‘Classic Fantastic'
Most likely the easiest cut flower to grow, it will reward you with lots of bright flowers throughout the summer. A classic. Looks wonderful in the garden too. This variety comes in a swathe of the classic cornflower blue but also, gentle soft blues and a few flecked with white petals- like a classic Breton stripe.
Bonus- the petals are edible and keep their vibrant well colour too. Deadhead regularly to keep them flowering and save the petals to brighten up winter cakes, biscuits, and salads.
Best sown under cover in Autumn to get the biggest, most productive plants. Protect from hard frosts and plant out in Spring. Or direct sow in Spring to flower in later Summer.
