Cornfield annual wildflower mix
Bring your garden to life with a breathtaking display of vibrant native wildflowers while providing a vital lifeline for Britain's bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other essential pollinators.
Our Cornfield Annual Wildflower Seed Mix is the perfect choice for gardeners looking to create spectacular colour in just one growing season. Inspired by the traditional cornfield flowers that once flourished across the British countryside, this carefully balanced blend recreates the stunning displays that have become increasingly rare in modern landscapes.
Containing five beautiful UK native annual wildflower species, this mix produces a succession of striking red, blue, yellow, white and pink blooms from late spring through to autumn. Every flower is rich in nectar and pollen, providing an abundant food source for pollinating insects when they need it most.
Why pollinators love this mix
Bees, butterflies, hoverflies and many other beneficial insects depend on nectar and pollen to survive. By sowing this wildflower mix, you're helping to create an important feeding habitat that supports pollinators throughout the flowering season. Each species in this mix is recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society as a Plant for Pollinators, making it an excellent choice for anyone wishing to encourage biodiversity and give nature a helping hand.
Whether you have a small garden border, a dedicated wildflower meadow, an allotment, a field margin or a community planting project, every patch of flowers contributes towards a healthier environment for wildlife.
