This sweet flower is a small delight, well-loved as a bouquet flower. Its airy sprays of petite ½” purest white single blooms are welcome in the cottage garden too, as they gracefully weave among bolder flowers. Charming paired with cornflowers and so much nicer than the common top-heavy doubled form. Easy to grow too; sow 2 times a season for continuing bloom and be sure to provide sharply drained alkaline soils.
