Cornfield Annuals Wildflower Seed Mix

Our Cornfield Annuals wildflower seed mix requires a sunny site to flower in the first year. It's a beautiful colourful mixture which includes yellow, blue, pink and white flowers.

The classically-charming Chamomile, the distinct and beautiful blue petals of the Cornflower, bright Marigold petals and rich red Poppies make for a vibrant palette that works well on its own or bolstering a blooming perennial patch for some first-year colour.

All the flowers in this collection are recommended by the RHS as ‘Perfect for Pollinators’.

 This mixture contains 100% wildflower seed and is 100% native UK origin.

Cornfield Annuals Wildflower Seed Mix Information

When to Sow:	Throughout the year (bar the depths of winter) but best results from August to October then March to April.
Soil / Site Conditions:	Sunny Site.
How to Sow:	Sowing of Wildflower seeds can take place through most of the year (bar the depths of winter). But generally, the most successful time is August to October (following natures natural cycle) and then by March to April. The best method to create a wildflower meadow is to sow on a freshly prepared seedbed. Prepare the seedbed by clearing all the weeds by hand or with glyphosate for perennial weeds, dig over and rake the soil to a fine tilth, tread or roll and then rake again. If the soil is very fertile remove the top 5-10cm of topsoil first. Broadcast the seed at a rate of 5g/sqm. (The seed can be mixed with sharp sand to ensure a more even spread.) Lightly rake the seed in and water carefully with a fine hose.
Care:	Carefully water during dry weather, and keep on top of removing weeds until the meadow begins to establish.  Once the plants have finished flowering the site will require rotovating in autumn to disperse the seed and it is good practice to add a little more seed in the autumn to ensure a great display the following year.
Sow Rate:	5 grams per square metre.
Pack Weight / Area:	10g 2m2 25g 5m2 50g 10m2 100g 20m2
