Corn Marigold Wildflower – JC2025

Bright yellow annual wildflower for pollinator-friendly meadows, field margins, and ornamental borders. Quick to establish and low-maintenance.

Corn Marigold (Glebionis segetum) Wildflower (JC2025) is a vibrant annual wildflower, prized for its bright yellow blooms and long flowering period. Highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and hoverflies, Corn Marigold adds ecological value while providing a striking visual display in landscapes.

This hardy species is ideal for field margins, wildflower meadows, BNG schemes, parks, and ornamental borders. Quick to establish and low-maintenance, Corn Marigold performs well in both urban and rural sites, enhancing biodiversity and supporting pollinator populations throughout the summer months.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed free from weeds. Ensure good seed-to-soil contact to maximise germination.
  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or early autumn when soil moisture is reliable.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast evenly across the prepared area. Lightly firm but avoid deep sowing.
  • Establishment: Annual species germinate quickly, producing vibrant yellow flowers in the first season.
  • Management: Minimal maintenance required. Allow natural self-seeding to maintain displays for following seasons.
  • Long-Term Care: Re-sow annually if continuous flowering is required. Avoid high-fertility soils to maintain flowering performance.
