They will flower pretty reliably 8 - 10 weeks after seeding. Nor do they flower for long we generally recommend sowing them in two lots, with a two week interval.
These flowers are NOT found in wildflower meadows! They're not perennials, so won't come back year after year unless you allow them to set seed and then agitate the soil with a hoe or similar. We think both species were accidentally brought to Britain from the Continent by farmers, in the Iron Age. For the French the cornflower (pictured) has a similar resonance as the poppy does for us. That soil disturbance was why there were so many poppies in Flanders, incidentally. It is important that the seed is in contact with moisture in the soil so the seedbed should be lightly raked and then rolled.Cornfield annuals - flowers like poppies and cornflowers - were once considered arable weeds. Ploughing arable fields triggered their germination, and you still see poppies in particular, before harvest. Sowing can best be achieved by mixing the seed with dry sand, dry sifted topsoil or sawdust and evenly broadcast. The best results are obtained when there is good contact between the soil and the seeds. Cultivate to achieve a fine seed bed, sow seed mix and then roll to ensure firmness. Perennial weeds, for example docks thistle, nettles and couch grass can be dealt with using a translocated herbicide such as Round-Up. Annual weeds should be controlled by mechanical means or by the use of contact based herbicide. It is very common throughout the British Isles on both waste and cultivated ground, although it is slowly disappearing from fields due to the continued use of herbicides and to improved seed cleaning methods.Ĭommon or Field Poppy Wildflower Seed Max Flowering HeightĬommon or Field Poppy Wildflower Seed Approx Sowing Rate
