Once upon a time there was a gardener in Merseyside... Yes, it's true: someone accidentally discovered this beautiful pure white corncockle on a rubbish heap there. The black radiating pattern in the flower provides a beautiful detail. It grows easily, flowers profusely in the sun, and makes a nice cut flower in a wildflower bouquet. The height varies from 75 cm (normal) to 120 cm when there is a lot of competition.
