An adjustable bloom mixer for a turbofan engine for setting a mixing ratio, adapted to the respective flight condition, between cold airflow in the bypass duct and hot airflow in the core flow duct includes an air-guiding element (13) arranged upstream of a thin-walled, corrugated part (6b) of the bloom mixer (6) for branching off a cold partial airflow and/or a hot partial airflow from the bypass duct and from the core flow duct of the engine. An air control device (14) is assigned to the air-guiding element (13) for leading the branched-off cold airflow or hot airflow along the inner surface and/or the outer surface of the bloom mixer (6) in order to deflect its corrugated part (6b) radially inwards or outwards on the basis of a temperature difference between an inner and an outer surface effected by the hot and/or cold partial airflow.
