Cornfield annuals will not establish very well
amongst grass or other vegetation. They need to be
sown on ideally weed free soil.
They should be broadcast at a rate of 2 grams per
square metre. Sow from September to April. After
broadcasting roll or consolidate the soil but ideally
do not rake or cover the seed.
Autumn sown annual mixes should produce a mass of
flowers from June onwards, with poppies, corn cockle
and corn cockle most abundant. Spring sowing tends to
favour corn chamomile and corn marigold.
It may be possible to re establish the mixtures after
the seed has shed in the autumn by surface
cultivation and rolling in the autumn.
