Cornfield Annuals Wildflower Meadow Mix

Price range: £34.80 through £6,960.00 inc VAT

A fast-establishing 5-species annual mix for disturbed or cultivated soils — bold colour from May to October in year one, no waiting for results.

Why Yellow Rattle? This mix already includes a little, but nowhere near the rate a dedicated top-up needs to open up an established sward. Skip this if you're sowing bare ground.

Sowing into existing grass?

This mix already contains a little Yellow Rattle. Add the top-up only if you're sowing into existing grass, not bare soil.

About this product

Cornfield annuals are the original British arable wildflowers — plants that thrived for centuries in cultivated ground before modern herbicides largely eliminated them. This mix brings them back. Five native annual species establish quickly in disturbed, cultivated, or freshly turned soil, delivering a vivid display of colour from May through to October.

Unlike perennial mixes, cornfield annuals complete their lifecycle in a single season, setting seed and dying back. They work best on sites where ground is cultivated each year, or as a fast first-year display while a perennial meadow establishes underneath. They’re well-suited to allotment edges, construction sites, ex-arable land, and garden soil that has been recently dug.

Sow at 3g per square metre into freshly disturbed, low-nutrient soil in spring (March–May). No cold stratification needed — these seeds are designed to germinate in spring conditions. Heights range from 20cm to 80cm. For best repeat performance, allow seed to set and ripen fully before cutting.

Sourced from UK farms. 100% native annual wildflowers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Cornfield Annuals mix best used for?

It is designed for disturbed, cultivated, or freshly turned soils — allotment edges, construction sites, ex-arable land, and recently dug garden ground. Cornfield annuals establish quickly and deliver a vivid display of colour from May to October in their first season.

What wildflower species are in the Cornfield Annuals mix?

The mix contains five native annual species traditionally associated with arable land, including Cornflower, Common Poppy, and Corn Chamomile. These are plants that thrived in cultivated ground for centuries before modern herbicide use largely eliminated them from farmland.

How do I sow and manage Cornfield Annuals?

Sow at 3g per square metre into freshly disturbed, low-nutrient soil in spring (March to May). No cold stratification is needed. Heights range from 20cm to 80cm. For best repeat performance, allow seed to set and ripen fully before cutting, then lightly cultivate to expose bare soil for the following year.

Will Cornfield Annuals come back year after year?

Cornfield annuals self-seed freely if allowed to set seed before cutting. On sites where soil is cultivated each year, they can establish a self-sustaining cycle. On undisturbed soil they will be out-competed by perennial grasses, so light annual cultivation of the soil surface helps maintain the display.
