A '''Cornflower''', or '''bachelor's button''', is a plant belonging to the genus ''Centaurea'', especially ''Centaurea cyanus''.
It is an composite herb (member of the family ''Compositae'' or ''Asteraceae'') with compound inflorescences, structurally similar to those of the dandelion. The flowers are most often blue, but can be other colors as well. The plant is native to western and central Russia, but has been widely introduced throughout Europe, North America, and central Asia. In some parts of Europe, the wild cornflower is a weed.
