5x Cornflower Centaurea – Mix – Bare rooted Yellow-Pink-Red

Where should we begin? The Cornflower (Centaurea) has a very special look. It has colourful antennae that shoot out from its long stems. They shoot out from its globe-shaped centre. Some of them just hang there. It is the perfect plant for bees. You will receive the cornflowers as bare-root stock in sugar cane sacking. This is more environmentally friendly than plastic nursery pots. The roots are shipped fresh from the ground. They are already one year old. This gives them additional strength, enabling them to grow faster than they would in a nursery pot. Plants grown from bare-root stock also adapt to their new environment more easily. They flower better and they are more economical. Bare-root stock plants grow when it becomes warmer. They are winter-hardy perennials. They can be planted at any time, provided that the ground is not frozen. The cornflower does best in a spot with full sun. It can also be planted in flower pots on a patio, roof terrace or balcony. Or just plant them separately around the garden. Always keep the soil around the roots damp. But it should never be soaking wet.
