Cornfield Annuals Nurse Seed Mix

We've found that our cornfield annuals mix is fantastic on its own, but there are a couple of things which can take over sometimes if you wanted to use it with a wildflower meadow mix. They can be quite bushy, and potentially shade out developing perennial wildflowers.

So this is what's known as a nurse mix - so if you use it sparingly with a mix of perennials and grasses it will help stop weeds springing up, without slowing the development of other plants in your seed mix. It will also give you colour in the first year of establishment, between 8 and 10 weeks after sowing. To be clear though, cornfield annuals aren't plants you would expect to find in a wildflower meadow, and do have their limitations! They're pretty but have a short flowering window and have limited benefits ecologically.

Corncockle is an elegant plant with a beautiful purple flower, rare in the wild. Please note, however, it is toxic if it eaten. Poppies and cornflowers are also colourful, and also have unobstrusive growing habits, so ideal for what we're looking to achieve with this mix. We think they were unwittingly brought to Britain by farmers in the iron age, incidentally.

In year two the perennials and grasses will take over, so you will see far fewer flowers, and by year three just the odd one or two. Their seeds are still viable, however, so if the soil is disturbed they will germinate and flower again.

Sow at just 0.5-1g per square metre in combination with a meadow mix.

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.

Very nice pillowcases
Color: 06 - Beige, Size: Standard (20" X 26")
These pillowcases are really nice. They're soft and wash well. I really like the pocket on the end. It makes your pillows look nice and neat. The price is good too.

Love the sheets but GOSH THEY STINK
Color: 19 - Forest Green, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I have the dark green sheets and bought these for extra cases to match. I would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️

Comfy soft pillow covers
Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
Absolutely love these pillow cases! I bought 2 sets. After I received them & washed & dried them they did remain wrinkly. I just went ahead and put them on my pillows & the wrinkles went away. I continue to love the feel, coolness & comfort. Will definitely buy more.

Pillow cases are beautiful and soft, great quality. I had to return them because standard were too small. I am going to order queen instead.

These Bamboo Pillowcases Made Me Realize I Sleep Hot
Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I bought these mostly because I kept hearing people talk about bamboo pillowcases and honestly thought it sounded a little overhyped, but I totally get it now. The first thing I noticed was how cool they felt compared to regular cotton. I tend to get warm when I sleep and flip my pillow a million times during the night looking for the cold side, and these actually stay noticeably cooler longer. They also feel really soft without having that weird slippery texture some silky pillowcases have. My skin has been less irritated lately and my hair definitely looks less frizzy in the mornings. I have thick hair that tangles easily overnight, and these have helped more than I expected. Another thing I appreciate is that they’ve washed well so far. I was worried they’d pill or lose softness after a wash cycle, but they still feel smooth and nice. They also just make the bed feel cleaner and more comfortable overall. One of those small upgrades that ends up making a bigger difference than you’d think.
