Cornflowers are especially nice in traditional cottage gardens, and they make an excellent cut flower. Also known as Bachelor's Button Black Ball, these flowers are native to much of the United States. Bachelor's Button plants prefer full sun in mild climates and partial shade in the hottest regions. They tolerate a wide variety of soils as long as it drains well. Centaurea Cyanus performs the best in mild climates with moderate water, but the plants can tolerate drought. Cornflowers are very attractive to both bees and butterflies, but fortunately deer leave the plants alone.Season: AnnualUSDA Zones: 3 - 10Height: 32 inchesBloom Season: Late spring to early fallBloom Color: BlackEnvironment: Full sun to partial shadeSoil Type: Well-drained, pH 6.6 - 7.8Deer Resistant: YesHouse Plant: NoDirectly sow seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as soil can be worked.
