This popular cornflower is also known as Armenian Basket Flower. One of the few perennial, yellow blossoming, large-growing perennial in the Centaurea family. Since this cornflower can be quite large and wide, it is best used towards the back of a sunny flower bed.
This perennial cornflower grows 3 - 4 feet tall in USDA zones 2 - 9.
These cornflower plants form a clump of coarse, light-green leaves, bearing stems of large, shaggy thistle-like flowers with bright canary-yellow petals.
These brilliantly yellow blossoms are perfectly shaped and are excellent for cutting, fresh or dried, and sometimes used by commercial florists. Unlike many other flowering plants, cornflower plants are not invasive in the least. Once planted, it is best to leave Centaurea Macrocephala where it was planted as it does not do well with transplanting or being divided.
This perennial cornflower grown from flowers seeds is extremely hardy, and a good choice for gardeners in prairie regions. Sow 10 seeds per plant.
