Introduce a touch of timeless charm to your garden with Kew Flower House Cornflower Centaurea Cyanus Blue Boy. This delightful annual produces striking, vibrant, sky-blue flowers that add a beautiful pop of colour to any garden space. The delicate, fringed petals and the tall, graceful stems of Blue Boy create a lovely, airy display, perfect for mixed borders, wildflower meadows, or cottage gardens. Known for its long-lasting blooms, this cornflower variety is also a favourite for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and wildlife value to your garden.
Sowing Instructions:
Sow Cornflower Centaurea Cyanus Blue Boy seeds directly outdoors in early spring, after the last frost has passed. Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Lightly rake the soil to create a fine seedbed, then scatter the seeds evenly across the surface. Gently press the seeds into the soil but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and ensure it stays well-drained. Germination typically occurs in 10-14 days, and once the seedlings are large enough, thin them to around 20-30 cm apart to allow for their full development.
This charming annual grows to a height of 45-60 cm, with vibrant blue flowers blooming from early to mid-summer. Blue Boy thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny location, but it is tolerant of poor soils and requires little maintenance. Its long-lasting flowers make it an excellent choice for creating vibrant, natural-looking garden displays or for adding to cut flower arrangements. Whether planted in beds, containers, or wildflower meadows, Kew Flower House Cornflower Centaurea Cyanus Blue Boy will bring a fresh, bright colour to your garden and attract pollinators throughout the season.
