Cornflower
The Centaurea cyanus, known as cornflower, is included in the European pharmacopoeia for its soothing and decongesting properties.
What does it look like?
Native to Europe, calendula, commonly known as “marigold,” is a plant that grows and is easily cultivated throughout the Mediterranean basin.
It grows to between 5 and 50 cm in height and is recognizable by its yellow to orange flower heads.
The calendula flower has long, slender stems with tapered leaves that bear beautiful double flowers ranging in color from blue to pink to purple.
Already known and used in ancient times by the Arabs, Greeks, and Indians for its medicinal, secular, cosmetic, and dyeing properties, this pretty redhead took off in the Middle Ages and has continued to diversify ever since.
Societal commitment
Passing on a passion for botany to children: that is the aim of the Graine de Botaniste program.
It's never too early to learn about the wonders of nature. The Klorane Botanical Foundation launched the Graine de Botaniste program to share its passion for botany and raise awareness among children about protecting biodiversity from an early age. After all, what better way to inspire a desire to protect the natural world than by immersing children in the fascinating world of plants?
