    Due to problems obtaining bedding plants during the lockdown, I purchased some wildflower mix seed packets. The second batch I scattered in June have been amazing the Corn marigolds are still stunning in late October :blue thumb: Now the first batch I planted have mainly all gone over, are the late flowering Corn marigolds due to the late sowing?
    Also what maintenance do wildflower mixes require? Do I just cut them back to a tidy stubble in December, when they have seeded?
    TIA
