Corn cockles in a wild flower meadow The corn cockle, (Agrostemma githago) is a plant of cultivated cornfields and  evidence suggests that it was first brought to Britain from Europe by Iron Age farmers, some 2,400 years ago. Never ever having been as common in farmers'  fields as poppies or corn marigold it was considered a serious weed in the 16th century. With the advent of herbicides it began to decline and is now exceptionally rare as a cornfield flower. These days it is however often sold in  wildflower seed mixes.
