The Cornfield Annuals Wildflower Mix is a 100% wildflower seed mix designed to recreate traditional cornfield habitats and support declining native species. This mix contains plants once considered weeds, now increasingly rare due to modern fertiliser use and seed cleaning practices. Ideal for meadows, gardens, parks, and restoration projects, it provides vibrant colour, enhances biodiversity, and attracts pollinators, butterflies, birds, and other beneficial insects.
Sowing is best achieved by mixing the seeds with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust for even distribution. Lightly rake and roll the seedbed to ensure excellent seed-to-soil contact, ensuring optimal germination. Perfect for landscapers, councils, farmers, and gardeners seeking to restore lost habitats and create ecological, wildlife-friendly spaces.
