This delightful new Agrostemma is perfect for creating swathes of harmony through your beds and borders, thanks to the haze of soft pink, lightly veined blooms. Easy to grow in any position, quick to flower and ideal for cottage gardens.

Sow March to May. Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 12mm (½in) deep, in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Alternatively, sow outdoors in late summer as above. Plants will develop and overwinter to make strong plants for flowering the following May/June.

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 30cm (12in) apart.

Prefers a light, well drained soil in full sun
