A enchanting and unique cornflower with dense and double flowers in a dark purple color. It is loved by all our pollinators and is a classic variety with a new and modern twist. The plant has a low and compact growth habit that is excellent for edging borders, planting boxes, and pots. Black ball is incredibly beautiful and magnificent in bouquets as freshly picked, but also as dried flowers. The striking and unique color makes this variety stand out and excel in wreaths, flower arrangements, and bouquets.
The cornflower's flower is edible and popular as a garnish in both cooking and baking. This variety has a very cool color and is also popular for making juice. Another fun tip is to make cornflower water and color homemade candies with it, equally exciting for adults and children.

Care and cultivation advice
Pre-cultivate indoors in seed soil during April-May. The seedlings are then placed in a bright and cool location after germination. The plants are planted out after they have been properly hardened off and the risk of frost has passed. They thrive best in a sunny location, but partial shade also works. Flourishes and blooms the most in nutrient-rich and well-drained soil, but thrives in most soil types.
This variety can also be sown directly in the planting site in May-June or sown in autumn for earlier flowering the following summer. ReYellowarly weed for a longer and more beautiful bloom.
