This generous imperial cornflower is a beautiful annual plant. The flower resembles a normal cornflower, but has a wonderfully sweet scent. This sweet scent is extremely attractive to butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects.

Part of the same Centaurea family as cornflowers, they’re like rosy-red cornflowers on steroids, bigger flowers, much stronger less tangly stems, even more pronounced pineapple-esque markings on the buds.

Lasts amazing well in the vase, with a soft sweet scent. It’s only shortcomings are it really does not appreciate wet feet, or too much warm rain for too long – but in normal not depressing early summer weather it’s an absolute gem!
