Centaurea cyanus 'Witching Hour'

Formerly called 'Black Boy', this variety now goes by the name 'Witching Hour'. The flowers are not black, but very dark. Nice picking flower, sought after by pollinators.

Sowing instructions
Cornflower is a light germinator. So you better not cover the seeds with a layer of soil. Sow shallowly, pressing lightly and keeping the soil moist but not wet. You can pre-sow them or sow them directly in the garden. Cornflower does not need to be indoors to germinate. On the contrary. Often it is too hot there, or there is not enough light, making it difficult for the seeds to germinate.
