Blooms early to midsummer.

3-inch flowerheads arise atop airy 2-foot plants!
A wonderful source of airy texture and dense, crimson-rose color in the early to midsummer sunny garden, Catchfly is an easy-to-grow biennial that should be more widely used in American gardens. The flowerheads are very large--about 3 inches across--with a full, rounded shape something like a gumdrop, and are very densely crowded with bright florets. They arise atop long, slender stems that scarcely look strong enough to support their bounty (but never need staking!), with sparse foliage that adds to the light, airy look of the 2-foot plant. A nice size for bed, border, or container, they are indispensible to a good cutting garden. The blooms begin in early summer and continue well into midsummer, giving you fresh flowers for weeks.

This biennial can be sown in spring, summer, or fall for bloom the following summer. It loves sun and is not overly fussy about conditions. Pkt is 100 seeds.
