Description

Cornflowers were previously commonplace among the weeds that flourished in the UK's grain fields. Hurtsickle got its name because the farmers' scythes had a difficult time cutting through the plant's wiry stems. The widespread use of herbicides has led to the decline in population of this beautiful flower.
Thankfully, the beautiful blue blossom was naturalized for the flower garden market and for the floral industry, and it is highly popular in the United States. Both of these markets serve the floral industry.
