  • Species and varieties: Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Europe but has been widely naturalized in North America and other regions. Varieties include 'Blue Boy', 'Polka Dot Mix', and 'Classic Romantic'.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Centaurea cyanus seeds are typically heirloom varieties, meaning they are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations without genetic modification. Some hybrid varieties may also be available, offering specific traits such as unique colors or improved disease resistance.
  • Pruning and training: Cornflowers require minimal pruning. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. No special training is needed as they grow upright naturally.
  • Fertilization needs: Centaurea cyanus is not a heavy feeder. A balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied at planting time is usually sufficient. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
  • Hardiness zones: Centaurea cyanus is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 2-11. It can tolerate a wide range of climates but performs best in cooler regions.
  • Climate requirements: Cornflowers thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They prefer cooler temperatures and can withstand light frosts. Ideal growing conditions include moderate rainfall and temperatures ranging from 60-70°F (15-21°C).
