This is a nostalgic, dramatic, fringed flowers, each carrying a whole cross in their centre. It is easy to grow and delightful displayed in informal drifts, which can be sown where it is to flower. This hardy annual reaches the height of 90cm.
CAUTION: Harmful if eaten!

Sow outdoors from March to May or August to October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin them to 20cm apart and water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals. Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Flowers from June to September.
