Half-hardy Annual. Fragrant, tiny white flowers are surrounded by a large, light green calyx. Traditionally, these are good cut flowers that can also be used for dried arrangements. Long spires of olive to emerald green bells which cut fresh will dry and last for years. Do not cover seeds as they need light for germination or this plant will self-sow easily. Thrives in full sun or light shade and enjoys moderate watering and monthly feeding.
