Product Details

Grown on the Shropshire/Staffordshire using sustainable methods, our Cornflower seed has been produced with all growers in mind. Our quality seed will produce a beautiful blue bloom which will attract all sorts of pollinators – bringing a real buzz to your outdoor space. Cornflowers also make perfect cut flowers, for a natural floral display. This stunning native species usually produces a flower between June and September and plants are around 60cm tall.

100% Cornflower Seed – grown and processed in the UK, using sustainable methods

Prep your site

1. Sow from March - September

2. Clear any weeds, grass or plants from the area

3. Break up the soil

4. If sowing into an area where there weren’t any weeds or plants (planters or pots) head straight to the SOW section

5. If you had to remove plants, leave the area for a couple of weeks and then repeat step one

6. Once you have done this, rake over the area and then walk over or roll to flatten the soil

Sow your seed

1. Use about 2g/m² of your single species wildflower seed.

2. Spread seed by hand. For large projects use a contractor/spreader

3. Sow half of pack from left to right and half from top to bottom of area

4. You don’t want the seed too deep so rake or cover over the seed but don’t bury it (depth 0.5cm)

5. Walk over, press or roll the area to get seed to soil contact

6. Water well for the first few weeks, keeping the area moist

7. After sowing reduce traffic (if applicable) as we don’t want to damage the young plants

8. Remove any weeds which appear - best to do this by hand.

Grow your wildflowers

1. Water regularly, especially if it’s dry weather. Soil should be moist.

2. Cut once in spring (optional) and then again in the autumn. Remove all the cuttings please!

3. If growing a 100% annual mix (our Native Flora or Space Saver mix) only cut once in the autumn and resow the mix each year

4. Removing weeds is always going to help keep your bed in shape! Hoe the area and pull weeds out by hand

Testimonials

I wanted something to give the patio area some life. We chose to use Native Flora in a vertical garden which was attached to the fence around the seating area. From the moment the mix started to grow (which was surprisingly quickly!) it really added that something special to this area of the garden. We also got lots of visits from the bees & butterflies as an added bonus!

The Space Saver mix is so easy to grow and, as a beginner, it was just what I was looking for! Packed full of beautiful flowers and giving off so many wonderful colours, this mix really did make me feel happy and proud of growing something of my own!
