Agrostemma githago Light rose

Agrostemma githago ‘Light Rose’ is a beautiful annual variety that produces delicate, pale pink flowers on tall, slender stems. Its soft rose-colored blooms bring a gentle charm to cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and naturalistic planting schemes. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this easy-to-grow plant attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it perfect for eco-friendly garden designs.

Sowing Instructions:

  • Direct Sow: Sow seeds directly where they are to flower.
  • Planting Depth and Spacing: Sow 12mm deep in prepared soil with rows spaced 30cm apart.
  • Watering: Keep soil well-watered during germination.
  • Germination Time: Germination typically takes 7–14 days. Spring-sown seeds will produce seedlings within 6–8 weeks.
  • Thinning: Once established, thin seedlings to 30cm spacing.
  • Note: This plant is toxic to chickens and may cause miscarriage in pregnant sheep. Avoid sowing in areas grazed by livestock.

Growing Instructions:

  • Maintenance: Requires little attention.
  • Feeding: No feeding necessary.
  • Staking: May benefit from staking in exposed conditions.
  • Caution: Do not sow in areas grazed by sheep or chickens.

Cultivation Instructions:

  • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to extend the blooming period.
  • Self-Seeding: Leave a few plants to self-seed naturally, or collect seeds for future planting. Other plants can be removed and composted in autumn.

With its soft rose hues and easy maintenance, Agrostemma githago ‘Light Rose’ adds a subtle elegance to garden spaces while supporting local pollinators.
