You might remember the common corncockle from your childhood, but today this undemanding plant grows into a beautiful and airy annual in the garden. Its delicate yet quite large flowers on long stems will perfectly complement any colorful flower bed. It works excellently in a vase as well as in loosely tied bouquets. White varieties in particular are popular in wedding floristry because they add a touch of lightness to floral arrangements.

We at Loukykvět have really grown fond of the corncockle, even if it can test our attention when growing it for cut flowers. It grows and blooms quite quickly, so we have to keep an eye on the right time for harvesting. But it is always worth it for the beauty in the vases.

Growing it is easy, and any beginner can handle it with ease. Due to its fast growth, the plant does not need to be started indoors; on the contrary, we recommend choosing direct sowing right onto your chosen site. Find a sunny spot with well-drained soil for it, and you will soon be rewarded with a delicate flood of flowers.
