Bachelor’s Button Cornflower Mix
$4.19
Centaurea cyanus. Centaurea is commonly known as the “cornflower” because of its intense blue flower, reminiscent of this small fruit. There are, however, softer-colored varieties in our mix: pink, white and purple. The “field” part of the expression refers to its natural habitat, cereal fields, where it grows spontaneously.
