I grew up with these, very dear childhood memory. Pretty sure my soil was bad as the seeds never produced a plant. Here to next year!

This is a wild type flower in my area. Small birds love to feast on the seeds. If you like a native look in a wild area, you will enjoy these flowers. They are not for a formal planting. Once you plant these, they will pop up from seed every year.
