How to grow
If planning to grow cornflower like species outdoors then the seeds should be sown in sunny areas of the garden that have soil with good drainage, ideally the pH should be from 5.5 to 7.
It is best to sow the seeds successively from just before the last frost of spring, or in the autumn. If first growing cornflower / Centaurea species indoors then they normally take about one week to one month to germinate and should be started off about 6 or 7 weeks before you plan to put them out into the garden in the late spring.
