Easy, true-blue edible flowers float above gray-green foliage. An important honey plant for bees. They do well and look great planted with calendula or California Poppy, coreopsis, and other easy-care meadow flowers.. Start in early spring for spring-summer bloom. Or start in shade in summer. Great cut flowers, long-lasting in a vase. For salads, scatter the petals over your dish for a pretty confetti effect. Attracts beneficials. Grows well among other plants--it was called "cornflower" because it grew in the grain fields of Europe, (along with the wild red, or corn, poppy.)
