Corn Cockle Pink Pearls
Agrostemma githago 
 
Agrostemma is a delightfully whimsical cottage garden favorite featuring 1" inch, open-faced, fluted 5 petal flowers that are delicately speckled with a fine black starburst veining that explodes from the center of the flower toward the outward petal edge.
 
Shimmering light pink flower blooms are slightly silky in appearance and the foliage is a unique willowy gray-green.
 
A favorite of pollinator friends, these fancy garden flowers will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees in abundance. Best known for their dancing movement as they sway and swish in the breeze,
Agrostemma is a must grow for those who appreciate a symphony of texture and airy garden feel.
