Nothing compares to the awe-inspiring array of color and fascination that comes from sowing a mixture of cornfield annuals. The vibrant cornfield annuals in our seed mix—Cornflower, Corn Marigold, Corn Cockle, Corn Chamomile, Corn Poppy, and Purple Tansy—are now relatively scarce in the wild due to modern advancements in crop weed control. We recommend preparing a settled seedbed, preferably in poor soil and always in full sun, some time before sowing these annuals. This approach allows for a flush of annual weeds, which can then be eradicated through shallow cultivation or spraying before sowing, ideally between mid-August to mid-October. Spring sowing, starting from early March, will result in smaller plants that flower later compared to an autumn sowing, but they will be just as vibrant. The recommended seed rate for our cornfield mix is 5g per square meter.
