Cornflower (Centaurea Montana) - For a true blue flower, start these seeds, and enjoy not only the blue shade, but a perennial wildflower as well! Native to damp meadows in the European mountain ranges, this perennial Centaurea is commonly called Mountain Bluet or Mountain Cornflower, and it is rugged and hardy, growing in most soil types and climates. The vigorous clump-forming plant has silvery-green foliage and stems that are slightly hairy. The blooms are large, solitary, and fringed and are excellent for cutting. The plant does best in moisture retentive soils. Care includes removing spent flowers after blooming. The cornflower plants can be trimmed back hard after blooming. Mountain Centaurea is known for self-sowing, so deadheading is needed if spreading is not desired.
