Description
Corn Marigold Plug Plants Glebionis segetum
Common names include, field marigold, golden marigold, golden cornflower and yellow horse daisy.
An annual flower bearing golden-yellow blooms on upright stems, the corn marigold is easy to grow on a sunny site in most free-draining soils. At one time abundant in cornfields alongside other cornfield annuals such as cornflowers, poppies and corncockle, it is now relatively scarce in the wild.
Perfect for all kinds of wildlife gardens, wildflower meadows, informal cottage gardens, and flower beds and containers, corn marigold is a versatile wildflower with a long flowering season from mid to late summer.
Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.
Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
