Vasilkov flowers are inflorescences - baskets, in the middle of which small tubular flowers are located, and at the outer edge, larger funnel-shaped flowers. Color coloring Vasilkov is blue, blue, pink, lilac, yellow and white.

After flowering, the Vasilkov ripen seeds with a fluffy tank, so they easily scatter on distant distances and multiply as weed. Vasilki differ in minimal requirements for growing conditions, grow well on dry and wet places, but abundantly bloom only in open sunny places.

This applies to both the annual cornflower of blue and perennials, the more the sun will be on the site, the better, and even the strong heat in this case is more suitable than halftime.

Many lights need primarily foliage, which should receive it evenly throughout the volume, in connection with which in the compositions of a mixed type of blue cornflow (and some others) need to be placed in the foreground (even taking into account the varietal differences in height), and thickened landing For the most part are not suitable.

In addition, for a comfortable development, these plants need a certain space equal to approximately half the meter between instances of medium and high varieties. With such a distance, mutual blackout is practically excluded.

For the most part, cornflowers are very resistant to drought, including, of course, and a popular blue appearance, which can be carried away by even long periods in the drying ground.

But it is less related to more rare annual cornflowers (for example, to meadow), which is important to the slight moisture content of the soil.
