Centaurea Cyanus (Cornflower)

Centaurea cyanus, commonly known by a host of names including cornflower and bachelor’s button, comes in a variety of colors, but the blue blooms are my absolute favorite.

Cornflowers are easy to grow from seed, they are delicious to pollinators and humans, and they can be used to make a gorgeous natural dye.

Today I spent the afternoon working in my community garden. It was freezing and windy, but also glorious; I love winter gardening. After pulling assorted root vegetables and tweezing saffron, I finished up by sowing cornflower seeds in my plot (allotment). Nature willing, they will emerge in late March and start blooming in May.
