I'm very new to gardening. This is only my 2nd year. I love it but am a tad clueless.
I have planted corn flowers from seed this season and they have grown very well, however, to my horror, when Igot up thismorning the strong winds had all but flattened them.
I have propped them back up using canes. I don't think any of the plants have broken.
Will they survive?

They may stand up again or they may simply grow the upwards from where they landed from now on. Its not too late to sow some more for a later crop of flowers too.

Hi Nippy...cornflowers are better planted amongst same height plants which then support them during high winds or heavy rain.

rather than canes use smaller twiggy stems to support them. Beech prunings are brill for this.

So long as the stems were not broken yes, they will survive.
