Cornfield Annuals Seed Mix
Full description
A cornfield annuals seed mix could be sown on a spare patch of bare soil you might have in your garden - or in addition to any of the perennial wild flower and grass seed meadow mixes for a wonderful splash of colour in the first year.
The cornfield annuals mix comprises the following species:
- Corn Chamomile - white
- Cornflower - blue
- Corn Cockle - mauve
- Corn Marigold - yellow
- Common Poppy - red
This mix can be sown onto prepared soil any time from autumn through to early spring. According to the time sown and other soil conditions, a different balance of the species will result.
Sow at a rate of between 1 and 2 grams per square metre.
For a repeat show the following year, rotovate the plants in the autumn and, preferably, sow some extra seed as well.
