Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
It is an annual plant growing to 16-35 inches tall, with grey-green branched stems. The leaves are lanceolate. The flowers are an intense blue color, produced in flowerheads.
We live adjacent to a wild area and large lake in North Texas. Since we love to watch nature, we created a certified wildlife habitat, a certified butterfly habitat, and a half acre garden with over 300 unique plants specifically to attract a wide variety of nature. We also have two large natural koi ponds with stream beds to attract birds, reptiles,butterflies, etc. We use no insecticides or pest control services.
Favorite flower of JFK. Endangered in United Kingdom, but common in other parts of the world.
