Centaurea cyanus, ‘Polka Dot’ Cornflower RHS Perfect for PollinatorsAttractive to pollinators We are very pleased to be able to reintroduce this particularly fine Cornflower variety. Dating back to about 1960, it is one of those varieties actually bred for use by amateur gardeners whereas nearly all modern varieties are bred with the professional pack market in mind. At the time of its introduction, ‘Polka Dot’ was considered a startling addition to the range of dwarf Cornflowers. There is a full range of colours including blue, maroon, red, rose, pink, lavender and white. The uniform plants of bushy habit make an ideal bedding display lasting all summer. Our seed comes from maintained original raiser’s stocks. 1ft (30cm) This old garden favourite is both a splendid border plant and also a fine flower for cutting. Easily grown, it also makes a most attractive pot plant for the cold greenhouse
