It performs best in a sunny position with well-drained soil and is particularly useful for adding height, colour and movement to mixed borders.

The long stems are excellent for cutting and provide a beautiful addition to summer bouquets and floral arrangements.

🚚 Delivery information

Plants are dispatched in October ready to be over wintered either in the ground or in pots.   We find Agrostemma fully hardy here in Devon overwintering just fine in the ground, but trust your local knowledge of where you live and either overwinter in a greenhouse or polytunnel or have some frost cloth handy!

You will receive tracking updates via text or email once your order has been despatched.

🌿 How to grow

Plant out after the last frost in a sunny position, spacing plants approximately 25–30 cm apart.

Water well after planting and keep lightly moist while establishing. Once settled, plants require very little maintenance and will produce an abundance of elegant flowers throughout summer. Taller plants may benefit from support in more exposed locations.
