Product description
Once a common sight in arable fields, Cornflowers have become rare in the wild due to modern farming practices. But these vibrant blue blossoms have made a comeback in gardens, wildflower meadows, and anywhere soil has been disturbed.
From June to August, they brighten up roadsides, farmlands, and scrublands with their bright blue colour (you can also find red cornflowers).
Each Cornflower head is a cluster of tiny flowers, with star-like blue outer florets and smaller purplish ones in the centre, all atop long, pointy stems and leaves with distinctive hairy, blackish buds.
Cornflower petals have several uses:
These brilliant blue petals arenât just for show – theyâre edible too. Sprinkle them raw or dried into salads, drinks, and desserts, or use them to brighten up teas and spices.
Cornflowers are more than just a pretty face. Theyâre known for their therapeutic properties in both humans and animals. Theyâre believed to have diuretic, anti-diarrhoea, and anti-inflammatory effects, especially helpful in soothing eye irritation.
Theyâre also perfect for potpourris, decorations, and even as natural confetti for weddings, adding a touch of natureâs beauty.
