EC2 Special Cornfield Mixture
EC2 contains a much wider range of annuals than EC1, including some which are now rare or declining in the wild.  No two cornfield annual sowings result in the same balance of flowers, with different soils and sowing dates having a great influence on the outcome.

 

It is possible to re-establish cornfield annuals each year from self sown seeds if, after flowering, the plants are cut back and removed, and the ground re-cultivated.  If you wish to boost the numbers of your favourite annuals these can be over-sown at the same time.

 

The typical composition of EC2 is as follows:
