Cornflower Yellow Globe Centaurea Macrocephala is a hardy perennial native to Europe. Yellow Globe Cornflower seeds are easy to germinate. Also known as Armenian Basket Flower, Giant Knapweed, and Bighead Knapweed, this rugged perennial Cornflower forms tall clumps of coarse, light-green leaves and produces fluffy, bright-yellow, thistle-like flowers on sturdy tall stems. Bighead Knapweed blooms all summer long and the flowers are long-lasting and attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Cornflower Yellow Globe is one of the best perennials for borders and hard-to-reach areas in the garden because once established this plant virtually does not need any care. Centaurea Macrocephala seeds produce the perennial Cornflower that tolerates drought and likes to grow in full sun and light, moist, well-drained soil, but the Armenian Basket Flower can adapt to most soil types including clay. Giant Knapweed is a very popular, long-lasting cut flower for fresh bouquets, and Cornflower is also an excellent dried flower.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
