I found this plant charming from the moment I first saw it and my only misfortune with it has been how hard it is to find. When I moved, it took me years to find another vendor to replace it in my new garden. Again, seldom has a small flower's charm so touched me as this little flower of the hour. I have had no problems with invasiveness.

Masses of cream flowers with contrasting dark centers on bushy plants. Inflated calyces are good for cutting. Flowers are short-lived but numerous, as they replace themselves daily. Very easy to grow. Hardy annual, 24-28" tall.
