Plant description
Once a familiar sight in our cornfields and roadside verges, these annual wildflowers will help sustain bees and other pollinating insects - as well as create a visual feast in meadows and naturalised planting schemes in a smaller garden.
One packet containing 2 grams of seeds will cover approximately 2 sq m
The collection contains:
Corn Chamomile - Anthemis arvensis
Corncockle - Agrostemma githago
Cornflower - Centaurea cyanus
Corn Marigold - Chrysanthemum seggetum
Field Poppy - Papaver rhoeas
Garden care: Rake the soil well to form a fine tilth and then sow seeds, scattering them evenly before raking them in and firming down. Wildflowers prefer poor soils so avoid using fertilisers. Keep them well watered initially and remove any weeds if they appear. Do not cut back the old plants until they have scattered their seed. Then in the following spring, re-cultivate the soil for another crop.

How to make a new lawn
There’s nothing like a lawn to bring the various elements of a garden together as it’s easy on the eye and helps highlight other more ornamental features. Best of all, it adds much needed space to the garden and provides evergreen continuity too. But a la
