Brighten Up Your Garden with Thompson & Morgan's 'Cornfield Annuals Mix'

Transform bare ground into a thriving wildflower meadow with the Cornfield Annuals Mix Scatter Pack. Specially selected for UK gardens, this blend features classic native species such as cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas), corn marigold (Glebionis segetum), and more. These annuals are renowned for their vibrant colours and ability to attract pollinators, making them a natural choice for wildlife-friendly gardening.

Why Choose Cornfield Wildflowers?

• Biodiversity Boost: Support bees, butterflies, and hoverflies with nectar-rich blooms.
• Easy Establishment: No complicated sowing—simply scatter on prepared soil in spring or autumn.
• Spectacular Colour: Enjoy a succession of flowers from June to September, creating a lively display all season.
• Sustainable Gardening: Native annuals return each year if allowed to self-seed, reducing the need for replanting.

Growing Guide

• Sowing Time: Best sown outdoors between March and May or in early autumn (September–October) for earlier blooms the following year.
• Location: Prefers full sun and well-drained soil; tolerates poor soils but avoid heavy shade or waterlogged areas.
• Sowing Method: Clear weeds, rake the soil lightly, scatter seeds evenly, and gently press down. Water well after sowing and keep moist until established.
• Mature Height: Most species reach 30–60cm tall, providing plenty of impact without overshadowing other plants.
• Caring For Your Wildflowers: Minimal maintenance—just remove invasive weeds and allow seed heads to ripen if you want natural reseeding.

Add Natural Charm to Any Space

This mix is perfect for borders, wildlife patches, containers, or even larger meadows. Pair with native grasses or companion perennials like oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) for a traditional British meadow look.

FAQs
