Cornfield Rich Annuals 100% Wildflower Seed Mix

The Cornfield Rich Annuals 100% Wildflower Mix is specially designed to recreate the charm of traditional UK cornfields. Featuring once-common arable wildflowers that have declined due to fertiliser use and seed cleaning, this mix provides bright, colourful blooms while supporting biodiversity.

Ideal for gardens, parks, roadside verges, and community green spaces, this mix attracts pollinators, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife, establishing low-maintenance, annual meadows that bring ecological and aesthetic value. Sowing is most effective when seeds are mixed with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust and broadcast onto a well-prepared, weed-free seedbed.
