A classic cottage garden favourite in an enchanting shade of rich, deep purple. Velvet Dawn’s 3.8 cm dark, thistleshaped flowers stand out against densely branching, bluegreen foliage. They always attract and feed happy bees and butterflies. These are lovely, carefree, easy-to-grow, weather-tolerant flowers that will bloom vigorously and gladden your heart throughout spring and early summer. Cornflowers, also known as bachelor buttons, were traditionally used as lapel corsages!
