Corn Marigold Seeds chrysanthemum segtum – is an annual wildflower that used to grow in the wild, turning cornfields a beautiful gold in late summer. Sadly, this plant has been affected by modern herbicides and is now more or less extinct in the wild. Fortunately seed is readily available, so it can still be introduced into cornfield meadows and conservation headlands where it looks best growing alongside other cornfield plants. Corn Marigolds should be sown onto well drained fertile soils where there is plenty of sunlight. Plants produce bright yellow daisy-like flowers that appear from June to September and attract bees. Corn Marigold looks best growing with other annual wildflowers such as Corn Chamomile, Corn Buttercups, CornCockle, Wild Pansies, Cornflowers and Poppies
