Our Classic Cornflowers 100% Wildflower Seed Mix is for the wildflower traditionalists. We’ve jam-packed it with national favourites. All easy to recognise and even easier to grow!

How to Plant

Cheap and Easy Method:

For a straightforward and economical approach, you can simply scatter the seeds directly onto bare soil. This method requires minimal preparation but comes with a lower chance of success as it relies heavily on natural conditions. Start by clearing the planting area of any debris and lightly raking the soil to create a loose surface. Evenly broadcast the seeds across the soil, then gently rake again to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

More Involved Method:

For a higher likelihood of success, especially in areas with aggressive weeds, use a terram membrane. This process involves laying a terram membrane over the planting area to suppress weed growth. Spread a layer of calcareous soil, which is rich in calcium and ideal for many wildflowers, over the membrane. Evenly sow the seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them in to ensure good contact. This method is more costly and labour-intensive but significantly increases the chances of a vibrant and successful meadow.

When to Plant

The ideal time to plant your Classic Cornflower mix is in the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to October). These seasons provide the optimal temperatures and moisture conditions necessary for seed germination and establishment.

Where to Plant

Select an open, sunny location with well-drained soil for planting. Wildflowers in this mix thrive in areas with full sun and minimal shade. Avoid spots that are prone to waterlogging, as this can hinder seed germination and plant growth.

Watering Schedule

During the initial establishment phase, ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water gently to avoid washing away the seeds. Once the seedlings are established, they will require minimal watering, relying primarily on natural rainfall. However, during prolonged dry periods, occasional watering may be necessary to maintain healthy growth.

Blooming Period

The wildflowers in your Classic Cornflower mix will bloom from late spring through summer, typically from May to August. This period may vary slightly depending on local climate conditions and the specific flowers in the mix.

Expected Plant Height

The wildflowers in this mix will vary in height, generally ranging from 20 cm to 80 cm. This variety adds visual interest and supports a range of pollinators and wildlife.
