First introduced in the 1960s, this charming dwarf cornflower was one of the first bred especially for home gardeners — and it’s easy to see why it became such a hit. Compact, bushy plants with no need for staking, burst into a joyful mix of colours all summer long, from rich maroon and rose pink to lavender, sky blue and pure white.
