FAQ about Cornflower – White

What kind of soil suits cornflowers best?
Cornflowers thrive in well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. They are adaptable and manage on fairly poor soil, but avoid compacted ground that stays wet. Ordinary garden soil works very well without any improvement.
How often should cornflowers be watered?
Cornflowers are fairly drought-tolerant and need only moderate watering. Water deeply about once a week in dry spells. In rainy weather no extra water is needed.
Do cornflowers need deadheading?
Regular deadheading prolongs flowering and stops the plant putting its energy into seed. Leave some flowers to ripen at the end of the season if you want it to self-seed. Tall plants can be supported with twiggy pea sticks.
Which pests and diseases can affect cornflowers?
Cornflowers are generally trouble-free. Aphids may appear but are rarely serious, and powdery mildew can occur with poor air circulation and high humidity. Give the plants enough space.
Can cornflowers be overwintered?
The cornflower is an annual that completes its life cycle in one season. Collect seed from ripe heads at the end of the season and sow it in spring, or sow in autumn for earlier flowering the following year.
