Dark purple centres are fringed with thin white petals, an unusual look for a cornflower. Blooms arrive from May to July, with some rebloom after cutting back, on a low mound of grey-green foliage that grows in full sun or partial shade. It is deer resistant and spreads by creeping roots and self-seeding, so give it room in a sunny border.
