What are the easiest wildflowers to grow?

Annuals are by far the easiest wildflowers to grow (i.e. plants that flower for one year only), and get the best results. 
We’re highlighting a few below -

Cornflower (Centaurea Cygnus)
This flower has brilliant blue flowers in summer, they occasionally have flowers in white or shades of pink and make a great addition to any border as well as being a great flower for cutting!
Sow directly into well drained soil in a sunny spot from March-May for flowers from June-September.
Options: Colourful Cornfields, Poppy and Cornflower

Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas)
The poppy is such an iconic flower, being used as the UK symbol of remembrance for the two World Wars😔🌺. Poppies appear when soil has been disturbed for example a ploughed field. They can be sown directly into well drained, poor soil, from March-May for flowers in August and September. Or sow in late summer for early flowers the following year.
Options: Poppy and Cornflower, Colourful Cornfields

Corncockle (Agrostemma Githago)
The Corncockle used to be a common sight in cornfields, tall and elegant with lovely mauve flowers - but is now critically endangered. Unfortunately, all parts of this plant are toxic! 🙁
Sow directly into well drained, poor soil, in a sunny spot in March and April for flowers in August and September. They can grow up to a metre tall so may need to be staked, keep deadheading to encourage more flowers. However, you can leave the last flush of flowers to allow them to self seed.
Options: Premium,  SuperBloom


Purple Tansy (Phacelia)
This is extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators, its lavender blue flowers are also good for cutting. 
Sow seeds in autumn or spring, they are happy in most soils and are often one of first plants to emerge! However, they can dominate so ‘thinning out’ may be necessary. Watch our video here.
Options: Premium, Meadow, Colourful Cornfields

Borage (Borago officialis)
Also known as ‘Starflower’ as its tiny blue flowers are star shaped. Both flowers and leaves are edible and are often used as salad garnish - the flowers can be frozen in ice cubes to provide decoration long after the plants have finished flowering! It has a cottage garden feel and its bristly foliage has a lovely cucumber smell. Borage is loved by pollinators and is easy to grow, often being one of the first plants to show, if left, they will self seed.
They’re fairly tolerant of most soils and like a sunny position.

These are just a few annuals to enhance your beds, borders or wherever you want to add colour and pollinators to your garden!
