Cornflower
More or less the Lord of the Rings of the plant world, cornflower boasts a rich and interesting history. A national and political symbol in Estonia, Finland, Germany, and beyond, cornflower has pretty, shockingly blue flowers.
The cornflower's flower is edible and can be used for culinary decoration, for example to add colour to salads. The flower is also effective as a wash for tired eyes. Cornflowers are often used as an ingredient in teas with the most famous one being Lady Grey.

Plant care | Cornflower plant pods don't normally need thinning. For best results, though, keep one to three seedlings per pod. Expect to see first flowers about 50 days after planting. Cornflower generally requires very little care, just remove withered flowers with a piece of stem - this is called deadheading and will encourage new flowers to grow. |
