  • Species and varieties: Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. The red variety is a cultivated form of the traditional blue cornflower.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: The red centaurea cyanus can be found in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as color and disease resistance.
  • Pruning and training: Deadheading spent flowers will encourage continuous blooming. No significant pruning is required, but thinning seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart will help prevent overcrowding and promote healthy growth.
  • Fertilization needs: Centaurea cyanus does not require heavy fertilization. A light application of a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer 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 is a hardy annual that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures.
  • Climate requirements: This plant prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions and is drought-resistant once established. Ideal growing temperatures range from 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 21°C).
