Agrostemma githago

The delicate, slender stems of this plant evoke the grace of a ballerina in a music box. The elegantly curled buds open into light, airy purple flowers dotted with tiny darker specks. Easy to grow, it brightens gardens and dances with the slightest breeze. This plant is poisonous in all its parts, including the seeds. Handle with care, especially if children or pets are nearby. Prefers cool spring temperatures.

Packaging is in French only. Please refer to our website for full details.
