Deadhead the Flowers
Deadhead cornflower plants through the blooming season, from late winter thorough spring in mild climates. Remove the flower and stem back to the set of leaves directly below it. When you want cornflower to self-seed, leave a few flowers untouched.
Besides, do cornflowers come back each year?
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) Cornflowers are extremely colourful hardy annuals. They look great in beds and borders, especially when part of an annual bedding display or a cottage garden, flowering from late spring and summer into autumn.
Likewise, people ask, will coneflowers rebloom if deadheaded?
To deadhead spent blooms, follow the stem down from the flowers to the first set of leaves and snip just above these leaves. Most coneflowers produce several flowers per stem and will rebloom without any deadheading. Oftentimes, new blooms will appear at leaf nodes before the top flower finishes wilting.
