What an easy flower to grow from seed. For one thing, they are large seeds, easier to handle. I sowed the seeds in October or November time frame. They made it unscathed through the weird temperature drop (more of a plummet) in December. Some of my seedlings of larkspur, as well as others, died in the freeze. I was so surprised about that. But the Corncockle did fine. All of it is in bud, and some of the plants have begun to bloom. I think it's really pretty. Corncockle seed is expensive (relatively speaking). But leaving it to dry up and drop seed is too much of a wait for me. Out with the old, in with the new. I will end up pulling it up before it sets seed and sowing other seed. This year it will be replaced with Lady Slippers, Zinnias and Cosmos.
