Black Ball Cornflower

Black Ball Cornflower enchants with its rich, intensely dark purple blooms that create a stunning contrast against tall, elegant silver stems, making them a perfect choice for bouquets. These charming flowers, also known as bachelor buttons, thrive in a range of soil types and in both full or partial sun. 'Black Ball' is a truly versatile plant, displaying its resilience as it stands up to heat and drought while remaining unattractive to deer.

In the latter, 'Black Ball' becomes a beacon, attracting a delightful array of pollinators and beneficial insects, making your garden come alive with activity. An extra treat lies in the edible petals of these cornflowers. You can sprinkle them onto salads or add a touch of whimsy to your desserts. 'Black Ball' is not just a sight to behold; it's a multi-faceted addition to your garden, pleasing both the eyes and the palate.
