This plant is native to Europe. In England, where 'corn' generally means wheat, Corn Cockle was a weed in grain fields. Before the advent of machine harvesting the separation of the poisonous seeds from the wheat was a tedious procedure.

I grew a white cultivar of corn cockles several years ago in my mountaintop garden in the Catskills . I found it easy, although a bit late to flower in my short season garden. It did not self seed. The plants grew about a foot tall, and were pleasant in a meadow-like way.

Hardy Annual. This makes a great cottage garden selection. Grows to a height of 3 feet and bears large, soft pink flowers in the summer. Fast growing plants with lance-shaped leaves will need support with stakes. Seeds are poisonous. Deadhead (remove faded flowers) to prolong flowering and encourage new flower buds. This annual reseeds easily.
