The White Snowball Cornflowers give such a serene, calming effect in my backyard garden. Easy to grow and maintain, perfect for beginners.
The flowers are delicate and attractive, though slightly smaller than I expected. Still, they brighten my garden and attract pollinators.
These seeds produced nice blooms, but I had to thin them out because they grew crowded. With proper spacing, the flowers look amazing.
I wasn�t sure about the white variety, but they are absolutely lovely. They attract bees and butterflies too. Highly recommend for anyone wanting low-maintenance flowers.
Every seed I planted germinated! The plants grew tall and strong, producing full, round blooms. Definitely worth the buy if you enjoy ornamental gardening.
