Blanche - Corn cockle
All summer long, the white cornflower offers a profusion of graceful, pure-white flowers. This messicolous, honey-bearing plant brings a rural touch to any garden!
The whole plant, and especially the seeds, contain a triterpene saponoside, agrosthemin, which is toxic in high doses in animals and humans.

Sow light, directly in warm soil, in spring or autumn. Cover and lightly lead the seedling. Keep moist until emergence, then thin out to 10 or 15 cm in all directions. Sow at intervals of 2 to 3 weeks to prolong flowering. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming. You can also sow in pots or boxes in spring, before transplanting the plants in the garden as soon as the soil has warmed up sufficiently.
