Growing Cornflowers

I bought some seed a couple of months ago and sowed some last week, nothing is growing as yet but it will be part of a small wildflower and wild grass patch along the side of the garden. The directions said to sow a few seeds every couple of weeks and water for a longer-lasting display and so this is what I'm doing!

Noticed Wilkos had an offer on with their own brand cornflower seeds (69p a packet, 3 for 2!) I grew them as a wee kid so may seed bomb a small verge opposite my house so there is something nice to look at from the house! As far as I remember, didn't need to water them often so am not going to do too much looking after them and just see what happens!

 

I've also planted some Cornflower double mix seeds the other week, nothing happening as of yet. I can't wait to see all of your results

 

I have several cornflower seedlings but they seem to have stopped growing , I think I'm going to give them a weak feed & see if that helps. I have to say this year has been my worst year for growing from seed, I'm not sure why, maybe it's been the dramatic changes in weather & temperature??

 

Thanks for the info. Mine have just started to come out. Really not sure what you can do beckie76, i find putting compost around them helps?

 

I have a few small plants grown from seed last autumn, planted them out the other day. Will have to see if they amount to much.
