Black Ball Cornflower is one of the most enchanting black flowers you can grow—deep, velvety blooms in a rich wine-black shade that reads almost ink-dark at a distance. Set against soft, silvery foliage, the 2-inch thistle-like flowers create striking contrast and lend a distinctly moody elegance to the garden. If you’re designing a gothic garden or craving dark flowers to balance brighter summer blooms, this bachelor button delivers drama without difficulty. Plants average 30 inches tall, bloom continually through the season, and readily self-seed for naturalized drifts year after year. Cut stems hold beautifully in the vase, making Black Ball an unforgettable choice for a dark, romantic black flower bouquet. Blooms in summer. Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.
