Description

Our premium corncockle seeds deliver reliable germination rate and upright slender branching growth habit. Botanically named Agrostemma githago, it is a classic European traditional wildflower. It bears large trumpet-shaped pink petals with distinct darker vein markings, paired with narrow gray-green linear leaves, presenting a romantic rustic pastoral style.

Corncockle has good cold resistance and strong adaptability, tolerates poor and sandy soil conditions. It blooms continuously from early summer to early autumn. Widely used for wildflower meadow mixed sowing, cottage garden natural border backdrop, roadside ecological green belts, slope beautification and fresh cut flower arrangement. It grows well in loose well-drained ordinary garden soil with little demand for fertilizer. Only occasional watering during prolonged dry weather and regular weeding are required, with moderate self-seeding ability for annual natural renewal, perfectly suitable for ecological landscape projects and novice gardening enthusiasts.

Planting Instructions

Soil Preparation: Select loose, breathable, well-drained loam or sandy soil, avoid heavy clay and waterlogged low-lying areas to prevent root rot.
Sowing Method: Sow seeds directly on level soil surface, cover with 0.5cm thin soil layer and lightly compact. Warm water soaking for 12 hours can break seed dormancy and improve germination rate.
Germination Condition: Keep topsoil slightly moist without standing water, constant temperature 15–22°C, seeds germinate within 10–18 days.
Seedling Care: Thin overcrowded seedlings to keep proper spacing; full sunlight promotes sturdy stalks and sufficient flower bud differentiation.
Daily Maintenance: Water deeply only in long drought periods; remove faded flower spikes appropriately if self-seeding is not needed; add simple support for tall stems in windy locations to avoid lodging.
