Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This old favorite of grandmothers' garden is often seen where it has self-sown for years, as it is rarely offered by seed companies. Fragrant, easy to grow, quick to bloom, and excellent for garden edging, containers, and as small bulb companions. Pastel-hued flowers with charming tracery and dark-centered eyes. Sow both fall and spring for longer bloom.
