The best time for sowing seed is Spring or Autumn. On heavy clay soils it is often better to sow in Spring.
Perennial seed mixes take some time to get established, so it can be a good idea to sow Cornfield Annuals seed at the same time to give some colour in the first year.
Do read our seeding advice for important information on how to prepare, seed and maintain a wildflower area. Once the soil gets cold and wet in the Autumn, it is better to leave sowing until the Spring.
