Description

Cornfield mixtures contain annual wild flowers which will produce a colourful display in one growing season from an autumn or spring sowing. EC1 contains a selection of the brightest, most popular cornfield flowers. This mixture will grow well on most soil types.

Ground preparation

Cultivate the soil to create a weed free seed bed with a medium to fine firm tilth.

Sowing

If the cornfield annuals are being sown alone then sow in the autumn, winter or early spring. A later sowing will shift flowering beyond the normal peak in June. If sowing as a nurse for a meadow mixture then combine the two mixtures and sow in the autumn, winter or early spring.

Aftercare

Cornfield annuals sown alone should be allowed to grow and flower and then in late summer the area can be cut, cleared and cultivated. An annual cultivation is essential for re-establishment from self sown seed.

If sown as a nurse for a meadow mixture, cut and remove the vegetation in mid-summer but do not cultivate.

Cornfield annuals will suppress annual weed growth and give shelter to the under-sown perennial meadow species but will compromise the main sowing if left uncut for too long.  Cut the annual cover vegetation if it is lush and collapses and do not wait until the annuals have set seed (there is no point as they cannot grow in established grassland).

After cutting, manage the area as an established meadow, allowing the meadow species to replace the cornfield annuals in year two and thereafter.
