One of the nicest of the Cornflower-like plants that we grow. Large mid lilac blue flowers are borne amongst mounds of foliage during most of the summer months. Prefers a sunny site in good garden soil. A typical old fashioned cottage garden plant, with an interesting colour. Height and spread 45cm (1.5'). This is a slightly more compact form.
