Cornflower ‘Blue’ – Cutting Variety (6 Jumbo Plug Plants)

If there’s a flower that epitomizes classic charm and timeless beauty, it’s the Cornflower ‘Blue’. This variety is the iconic cutting cornflower, prized for its vibrant true-blue colour, tall, strong stems, and long-lasting blooms. Perfect for cutting gardens, borders, and floral arrangements, it brings structure, elegance, and a pop of intense colour to any garden or bouquet.

Cornflower ‘Blue’ produces upright, sturdy stems that support dense, vividly blue blooms, ensuring that every stem is perfect for cutting or display. Unlike some blue flowers that fade quickly, these blooms retain their colour and form, making them ideal for bouquets, wedding arrangements, or simply brightening your home.

Raised in our South Devon nursery in peat-free compost, Cornflower ‘Blue’ comes as 6 jumbo plug plants — larger, well-rooted plugs that establish quickly in the garden. Each order is packed in hado bags, biodegradable or reusable, protecting the plants in transit while being eco-conscious.
