On a very windy day in the Pennines at 1,000 feet I found a few perennial cornflowers just off a roadside verge. Theses are probably garden escapes as most C. montana finds are but these were competing reasonably well with much taller herbs nearby.

This plant is commonly recorded from the wild in England, Scotland and Wales but is rare in Ireland.
