When to sow
For best results, sow from March to May or August to October.

Where to sow
Choose open bare soil in a sunny position with reasonable drainage.

How to sow
Remove existing grass and weeds to expose bare soil. Lightly rake the surface, scatter the seed evenly, then gently press or tread it into the soil. Do not bury the seed deeply.

Sowing rate
3 g per m².

Measurements and timings are only a guide. Growing is not an exact science, so do not worry if everything is not perfectly placed.

Keep damp during germination, remove obvious weeds and do not feed. Leave a few seed heads after flowering, then cut back.

Flowering
Late spring through summer.

Height
Approximately 30 cm to 1 metre.

What to expect
Cornfield annuals may provide early colour, while the perennial species develop over following seasons. Every patch will find its own balance.

Wildlife value
The flowers provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other visiting insects.

We want your seeds to grow. If you follow our sowing instructions, give them a fair chance, and they still do not grow, we’ll put it right.

Eligible customers can choose either a refund for the seeds that did not grow, or replacement seeds of the same value.
