Cornfield Annuals Seed Mix

Cornfield Annuals Seed Mix provides fast-growing native annuals that create a bright, attractive display of colour loved by pollinators. These plants are called Cornfield Annuals because they were traditionally the ‘weed’ plants of arable farmland. Today, many farmers leave strips of these flowers around field edges to encourage insects and support biodiversity.

Included Species in This Mix:

• 15% Corn Chamomile (Anthemis arvensis)

• 10% Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas)

• 5% Corn Buttercup (Ranunculus arvensis)

• 15% Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)

• 45% Corn Cockle (Agrostemma githago)

• 10% Corn Marigold (Glebionis segetum)

Sow 2-4 g per square metre on bare soil. These annual flowers only grow from seed, so they won’t return year after year unless you let them set seed and disturb the soil. They’re typical of arable fields, not wildflower meadows, and provide a burst of bright, short-lived colour. For a longer display, sow in staggered batches a few weeks apart. Perfect for creating a vibrant, pollinator-friendly patch that pops through the season.

All our seeds are true UK native wildflowers, harvested from sites across the UK, mostly in Cumbria, with some from our own meadows. We also work with Wildlife Organisations, collecting wild seed from Nature Reserves and other wildlife sites under DEFRA permits. By purchasing our seeds or plants, you are supporting British growers and suppliers who often collaborate with local farmers. Be aware that some online suppliers sell cheaper, imported seeds that may not be true UK natives and may not thrive in local conditions.

This product is priced per unit (1 gram of seed), and we have a minimum order of 10 units (10 grams) for this seed mix
