The color of these cornflowers is richer than I expected. I planted them along a pathway, and they brighten up the space. Germination was consistent, and care is minimal.
I planted these in my front garden, and they bloomed beautifully within weeks. The flowers are vibrant and attract bees and butterflies. The seeds germinated easily with no special treatment. Highly recommend for adding color!
I bought these seeds to attract bees and butterflies, and they did not disappoint. The blooms are vibrant, and I�ve seen many pollinators enjoying them. Very happy with this purchase.
These seeds eventually produced beautiful cornflowers, but germination took a bit longer than I anticipated. Once they grew, though, they were healthy and vibrant. Patience is key!
I needed something to fill gaps between my taller plants, and these cornflowers worked perfectly. They grew quickly and provided a lovely splash of blue. Easy to maintain and very cheerful.
