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 a blend of the following:
Corn Chamomile (Anthemis arvensis)
Corncockle (Agrostemma githago)
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
Corn Marigold (Chrysanthemum seggetum)
Field Poppy (Papaver rhoeas)

How to care for Summer glory collection:

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.
