Corn-cockle and corn marigold

By Richard Burkmar
Spacer
Corn-cockle (Agrostemma githago) is an extremely rare wild plant in Britain now, but it is an easy and tremendously rewarding plant to grow in the garden. Here it is growing with corn marigold (Chrysanthemum segetum) from a 'cornfield annuals' seed mix which I purchased from Landlife Wildflowers.
