Hello again - I spread some mixed seed packets earlier in the year and these TALL straggly plants i have no idea what they are - i've had to stake them and they come in pink and purple so far! Any ideas? Thanks! :)

Looks like Centaurea cyanus aka Bachelors Buttons.

Except that I would call the Cornflower. Agree with the scientific name.

Super - hopefully i'll have a whole host of them in a few more days!

One of my favourites.

Prolific self seeders too, so if you don't deadhead you can expect more next year.
