Cornflower 'Black Ball'

Cornflowers are some of the most robust cut flowers out there - they thrive in poor soil and are rarely bothered by pests and diseases. They attract a wide range of pollinators to your garden and I often find them covered with hoverflies.

Flowers are edible - sprinkle the petals in salads or in cocktails.
