Sowing & Growing

  • Light: Full Sun
  • Planting season: Spring
  • Packet directions: Follow each component packet when species or varieties have different sowing requirements

Prepare a weed-reduced seedbed for ‘4th of July Mix’ Heirloom Cornflower and use the recorded planting season, depth, and light requirements. Press shallow-sown seed into good soil contact and keep the seed zone from drying during establishment. Thin or transplant only when the growth habit and spacing call for it. Leave enough room for mature width and air movement. Bloom timing and final height can shift with sowing date, climate, soil, moisture, and competition, so use listed figures as planning ranges.

They are highly adaptable and flourish in a variety of climates, with a long blooming season that extends from late spring into early fall.

Cornflower 4th of July Mix grows to a height of 24-36 inches, adding texture and movement to your garden.

Whether planted in large swathes or tucked into smaller spaces, these blooms add seasonal color to outdoor spaces.

Suited to cutting, the flowers make showy arrangements that capture the essence of summer festivities.

Their long stems and vibrant hues make them grown for fresh bouquets and dried floral crafts.

Because this packet contains a mix, component proportions and the number of varieties visible in a small planting will vary. Emergence, growth rate, mature size, color, and harvest or bloom timing can also differ among components and with site conditions. Evaluate the planting across the full season rather than assuming the first seedlings, flowers, or harvest represent the entire mix.
