Cornfield Annuals Seed Mix

These cornfield annual seeds are the wildflowers, or arable 'weeds', which once coloured old cornfields with reds, blues and yellows before they were banished by modern weedkillers. Sown onto bare earth in a sunny site these annual wildflowers' massed blooms produce a spectacular display of colour peaking in June, and a fabulous boon for butterflies, bees, and other pollinating insects. You can extend the flowering period of your cornfield annuals by repeat seedings around 2 weeks apart. Later spring sowing - up to the end of April - will result in later flowering.

It's worth point out that these species aren't found in wildflower meadows! If you wanted to add cornfield annuals to a meadow seed mix when you're starting off, have a look at our cornfield annuals nurse mix.

As a rule of thumb, cornfield annuals will flower 2 months or so after they've been seeded in spring. You can also perfectly happily sow in late summer - which is as nature intended, of course - and get flowers the following June. This annual wildflower seed mixture contains a selection of the brightest, most popular cornfield flowers, and will grow well on most soil types. Like all our native wildflower and grass seed, our cornfield annuals seed has guaranteed UK provenance.


It is possible to re-establish cornfield annuals each year from self sown seeds if, after flowering, the flowers are cut back and cuttings removed, and the ground re-cultivated. Please see Emorsgate's excellent Richard Brown on YouTube. This is, of course, why poppies did so well in Flanders over the first world war. The French equivalent to the Remembrance poppy is the cornflower. If you want to boost the numbers of your favourite annuals they can be over-sown at the same time. Corncockle looks like a major component of this mix, but actually has very large seeds. It's now virtually impossible to find in the wild here. This is why we think its important ot include this pretty flower in the mix, but please note it is toxic when eaten.

We strongly recommend reading up on wildflower meadows before buying seed - see our resources section and brief guide to preparation and aftercare, which includes links to our "how to" blogs and video. We also run courses on meadow creation and management


Although we test our seed and it has high germination rates, you need to be careful about initial care and establishing an annual regime. Don't be put off though - once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward.

Protected my kids through 7 hours of sun and water—no burns at all!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is the real deal. We spent a full day, about 6 to 7 hours, at a water park under the blazing sun. My kids were running around nonstop, in and out of the water, and we reapplied every 30-45 minutes. Not a single sunburn. Their skin looked exactly the same by the end of the day, no redness, no irritation. Meanwhile, I skipped sunscreen and got absolutely fried. Lesson learned. Goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and held up amazingly even with water play. I’ll be buying this on repeat all summer.

Smells great. Tough to remove.
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The smell is great and very nostalgic, but it has a sticky/tacky feel on the skin. It's hard to get off even with a lot of scrubbing with soap and hot water. They weren't joking that it stays on through water and sweat.

A TERRIFIC FIND FOR US IN ECUADOR
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Here in Ecuador, this product isn't even available to us. I have the most precious 20 month old girl living with us and of course I wanted to get a quality product at less cost. This fits the bill. With an SPF 100 rating from a decades old and trusted manufacturer and a price that is less than one third of what I would have to pay for any sort of water resistant equivalent, this was a no brainer. If you buy this product, please read the instructions and follow them. It is a spray product that great care should be used to avoid spraying directly on the face--------- either your own or the child's. Spray it on your hand and apply it to any face that needs it. It's convenient for neck, shoulders, backs and legs due to its spray delivery. Our little 20 month old must be part fish because she loves the thermal pools we take her to and this product seems quite durable

SPF 100 FTW
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I find it very important to have strong sunscreen. Thankfully I found this with 100 SPF. So glad plus I’m happy that I found it in spray because it’s so much easier to apply the kids and then I just have them rub it in. It also makes reapplying so much easier because just start spraying and have them turn around and around that you’re good to go.

Not eczema skin friendly
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Since I didn’t remember which sunblock spray I had previously purchased (that was super awesome), I got this one with a few other ‘kid’ sunblock spray and stick. I had grabbed this one for a splash pad birthday party this weekend only to find out it’s messy and not eczema skin friendly. Either we got a defective bottle or it’s just the way it sprays: runny goops of sunscreen that takes awhile to dry properly (see photo). And when it dries it really does stick onto your skin as advertised (aka not breathable, pore clogging, will irritate sensitive/eczema prone skin). My youngest has eczema prone skin (that’s been flare up free for 3 years) had a severe break out on her arms after using this. And even for the sake of photo demonstration for this post my own sensitive skin got red/irritated. So does it stick-yup. Is it messy? Definitely. Easy to apply? No (your kiddos have to stay put until it dries). Did it provide sun protection? Maybe…? Sensitive skin friendly? No. Eczema skin approved? Definitely not. Recommended? Nope. We threw it away and requested a refund.
