DamavandPro Corncockle Flower Seeds ,Native British Wildflower Pink Agrostemma Githago Seeds UK

From DamavandPro, these Corncockle Flower Seeds (Agrostemma githago) bring vibrant pink colour to borders and wildflower areas, with blooms that last all summer. A native British wildflower, corncockle is a natural choice for gardeners looking to encourage bees and butterflies while keeping planting simple and rewarding.

Designed to be sown directly where you want it to flower, it can be planted in autumn or spring on bare earth. Corncockle prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade, and while it favours free-draining sandy loams, it will grow on most soil types. Once established it is drought-tolerant, with regular watering beneficial during hot weather. It will readily self-seed, helping it return year after year; for best results, surrounding plants should be mown and the soil scarified in late autumn or winter.
