Agrostemma is easy to grow and pleasing as it sways in light breezes, making it perfect for annual meadows, cottage and cutting gardens where it attracts bee pollinators. While it can grow in most soil types, it prefers well-drained soil. If the soil is too rich, support at the base may be needed, such as short twiggy sticks. Deadhead the plant, but leave some flowers to self-sow. Caution: all parts contain some toxic elements, but particularly the seeds.
