- When to Plant Cornflower Seeds
The best time to plant cornflower seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. This is usually around early to mid-spring, depending on your location. Cornflowers are hardy annuals and can tolerate cooler temperatures, but they don't like frost. It's important to wait until the threat of frost has passed before planting the seeds.
If planted in the early fall in milder climates that don't necessarily freeze, the plants will grow and flower at that time. - Where to Plant Cornflower Seeds
Cornflower will thrive in full-sun conditions but is also tolerant of partial shade. Select an area with good, well-draining soil before you get started. Cornflower grows up to three feet tall, so plan accordingly in a space where you would like to see a mid-height flower. - How to Plant Cornflower Seeds
Broadcast sow your seeds directly onto the surface of the soil. Compress the seeds, but leave them uncovered. Once plants have germinated, thin them out to a spacing of 8 to 12 inches between plants. There’s no need to thin for a more natural meadow look. - How to Care for Cornflower
Keep your soil moist. Also, while cornflower will tolerate drought conditions, watering during drier periods will help improve flowering. Once the flowers have died back for the season, cut down your growth and remove the debris from the planting area.
