Product Description
The Graceful Agrostemma
These flowers form singly on a long stem and sway gracefully in the slightest breeze.
Agrostemma (Agrostemma Githago Purple Queen)
Grow these Agrostemma seeds to add a charming display to your flower garden! These flowers are medium to tall flowering annuals. They have long, softly hairy leaves and large 1 1/2 inch flowers. The flowers are followed by a straw colored flask-like seed head that contains large, black, rough-textured seed.
Agrostemma Githago is often referred to as Corncockle, and is native to the Mediterranean Region. It can be established easily from flower seed, and is known to be a liberal self-sower. Agrostemma seeds will grow in most soils but performs particularly well on free-draining, sandy loam. The Corncockle blooms from mid-spring to mid-summer, and often attracts both hummingbirds and bees.
The Corncockle produces an abundance of flowers, and can be grown in containers if desired. Corncockle is also frequently used in cottage gardens and, if paired with cornflowers or poppies, it makes for an even greater display!
Tall Annual
How to Grow
Start your Agrostemma seeds indoors 6 weeks before the last frost. In May, plant outdoors in a partly shady or open sunny spot with well-drained soil. If you want to start your Corncockle outdoors instead, direct sow them in Mid April-May.
Its blooms are typically produced about 12-14 weeks from sowing and it flowers from June-September. Once it is done flowering, cut back.
Regularly cut flowers and dead-head to ensure new blooms. It also makes a splendid cut flower! Place cut flowers in a bucket of clean water and allow to rest overnight before arranging in a vase.
