Description
The distinctive deep scarlet-red petals surround a central mass of black anthers and provide real oomph to your planting display!
These easy to grow plants were once abundant in field margins and cornfields but are now quite rare in the wild.

How to Guide
Sowing Outdoors
Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in a pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil.
Sowings made in semi circular lines create a natural "drift" effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear and as required in dry spells.
Potting on/Thining Out
When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development and to prevent overcrowding.
