Cornflowers – a small flower with a long memory
Cornflowers have long been a symbol of hope, resilience and quiet joy. They were once found growing wild through cornfields across Europe, weaving their way through the crops in flashes of blue and white—reminders of beauty even in the midst of work and hardship.
They’re also associated with love and devotion, often given as a sign of faithfulness, and with remembrance—a flower that holds both lightness and depth.
The varieties grown here are from Sarah Raven, known for selecting flowers not just for colour, but for character. These cornflowers have been chosen for their soft, nuanced tones and their ability to flower generously over a long season. They’re not the flat, fleeting versions you sometimes see, but fuller, more expressive blooms—perfect for cutting, with that romantic, cottage garden feel.
Easy to grow, loved by pollinators, and wonderfully generous, they’ll keep flowering if picked regularly—bringing armfuls of colour into the house all summer long.
