Flowers highly attractive to bees. |
Aug-Sep or May-Jul in the northern hemisphere, Nov-Mar in the southern hemisphere Sow in Seed can be sown onto a bare earth site in the autumn or spring. As the seed is short lived once in the soil it is probably best to avoid sowing in winter or early summer. Corncockle can be established on most soils but does particularly well on free draining sandy loams. Being an annual it requires open ground to re-establish itself, so an autumn cultivation is essential if you wish it to return. Corncockle is often used in association with other cornfield annuals, to provide some first year colour and as a nurse crop when sowing a meadow mixture. |
24 x 24 All parts of the plant are poisonous (githagin, agrostemmic acid). The plant was believed to be completely extinct in the United Kingdom until 2014, when a single specimen was found growing in Sunderland by an assistant ranger of the National Trust. Do not use a fertiliser since wildflowers prefer poor soils. In a garden situation, without long grasses to give support, you may wish to support the plant with stakes. Deadhead to prolong flowering and encourage new flower buds. Leave a few plants to die down and self seed. Others can be pulled up and composted. |
Well-drained soil, preferably poor soil. Lance-shaped, grey-green foliage Not fragrant,
