Description
Black Ball Cornflower is an annual flowering plant. It’s suitable for garden beds, borders, containers and plant collections. Sow the seeds 0.5-1 cm deep and space plants 20-25 cm apart in full sun on well-drained soil. Water moderately, keeping soil evenly moist during germination and then reduce watering once established. Germination takes 7-14 days, with ideal growth at 18-25°C. The plant blooms 60-90 days after sowing, typically from late spring to summer, and deadheading helps extend the flowering period. Self-seeding may occur in suitable conditions.
