Agrostemma githago

An early bloomer in the garden, this lovely corn cockle grows in the most beautiful light blush shade. The plant grows long delicate stems with almost a tropical look to the flowers . Each swirled bud opens up into a delicate bloom with pencil thin details. The stems dance in the wind and are cut and come again.
