Good to know,--- so now I will treat it as an annual and collect seeds.

I just seeded some "Corncockles" weird name.
Agrostemma, Contessa Pale Pink. Has anyone tried those before?

Had to look them up. They're cute! Looks like a nice willowy filler.

I love corncockle:) I usually plant a mix that has both the pink and white ones...Can't remember the names at the moment, but they're a staple for me. Easy to collect seed from for next year, too. Good choice, Joanne:)
I think I first saw them on the Annies Annuals site then lucked out getting seeds from a friend. Hope you like them as much as I do.

One of my "new" seeds for this year is Emilia and they just got hit by frost the rest of my WS seedlings are fine but these look sort of limp I'm *hoping* they might spring back but it doesnt look like it....well at least there is time to sow more seeds!

I saw that white corncockle in Annies Annuals and wanted it badly. When I checked the shipping I immediately looked in the seed catalogs for it and found it. Now I find I had forgotten it until I saw your post. Thanks I will write it down in my notes if I can find my journal before I forget it. Off to look for my journal.

I have grown the pink and mauve "corncockle" , but my favorite is the Agrostemma githago which has white flowers which look as if they have been embroidered with gold thread. The plant grows upright like a bachelor button plant and resembles bachelor button plants. The mauve and pink ones form mor spray like plants similar to annual baby breath.

That sounds nice...where did you score the seeds?

T and M used to sell the seeds---not in this year's catalogue,but in Dominion seed catalogue.

Thanks:) I'll need to look that one up.

I just saw this... and I think I need it

Hi All! I'm pretty excited here that my 'Prarie Sun' ruds are flowering! This is my first time with them and they are doing great! I planted them up with some johnny-jump-ups and Black-Eyed-Susan vine and I am loving them!

This pic shows a bit of them all!

Beautiful. Prarie sun is my favorite rud. The coloring is remarkable.

ooohhh very pretty

Thank-you Karen and Allison! It is really standing out in this dreary weather we are having today!
