Also known as Blue Cornflower. This species is low to medium in height and well suited to growing in the sunny border. Removing faded flower heads will encourage repeat blooming. Ruggedly hardy, this plant will grow in most types of soils and climate regions. Plants form a bushy clump of grey-green leaves, setting off a display of clear-blue shaggy flowers in early summer.
