An old-fashioned cottage garden flower that weaves among cornflowers, calendula and godetia in the early summer garden. Bountiful lustrous pure white flowers are stitched with golden bronze and sway on the tops of the slender stems and silvery green narrow leaves. Easy to grow--just sow direct in early spring into poor well-drained soil. Deadhead and, if the soil is rich, stake with brush.
