Surely the most recognisable flower for anyone who has been to an English Wedding where oodles of these star-like flowers adorn everything from alters, pews & pedestals. A true cottage garden staple. 
 
CULTURE – One of the easiest plants to grow. Thoroughly clear a patch of ground then literally sprinkle seeds liberally on top (barely cover the soil). Water the whole area & that’s it. The ultimate ‘sow & throw’ flower. Germination takes 1-2 weeks. Trust not to over fertilise the soil as this will cause extra foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Will self-seed readily so cut flowers frequently throughout the season.
