Are we prejudiced against hardy annuals?  This is one of my favorites:



It does best for me when sown in Fall.  It likes a lot of sun and a sandy soil.  It blooms for many weeks, and reseeds.  Very easy to grow; just sow in place.

I've never seen a species listed.  They are just a swarm of hybrids.  My original seeds from Chiltern were listed as French hybrids.  They still sell them.

Beautiful!  I'm sure everyone who reads this forum is scribbling the name down on their "get seeds" list!

That would be me...
Nigella hispanica grows fairly short in alpine conditions, and I like it too.
