Cornfield Annuals Mix 100% Wildflowers – JC3160

A fast-growing annual wildflower mix for vibrant summer colour. Ideal for temporary meadows, cornfield edges, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Cornfield Annuals Mix 100% Wildflowers (JC3160) is a vibrant, fast-growing mixture of five annual species, selected to provide a burst of colour across the summer months. Ideal for temporary display meadows, cornfield edges, wildflower plug sites, or pollinator-focused projects, this mix delivers quick flowering and visual impact.

Designed for flexible sowing in both autumn and spring, JC3160 provides extended flowering periods, supporting pollinators, insects, and visual interest in both rural and urban landscapes. This mix is perfect for BNG schemes, estate enhancement, schools, parks, and temporary ecological projects, where rapid establishment and seasonal colour are required.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed by removing existing vegetation and reducing compaction.
  • Sowing Time: Can be sown in spring or autumn depending on desired flowering timing.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast evenly and roll lightly for good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Establishment: Germinates quickly with flowering typically from mid-summer, continuing until early autumn.
  • Management: Minimal management required; no fertiliser needed. Avoid frequent cutting during flowering season.
  • Long-Term Care: As annuals, plants will complete their life cycle each year. Re-sowing is required for repeat displays.
