Cornfield Annuals

These are unlike perennial wild flowers in that they establish quickly and grow well on fertile soils and produce a bright colourful display in one growing season from an autumn or spring sowing. The majority of cornfield annuals will no longer exist after the first year but it is possible to get some re-establishmentfrom self-sown seeds if, after flowering, the ground is re-cultivated. A regular re-seeding programme is required to build up a seed bank within the soil so that disturbance alone will regenerate the annuals.
