On the Copella Plant and Protect garden, designer Sadie May Stowell has used a range of seed raised plants but her groups of white-flowered annuals are especially delightful. Pure white poppies sit among the white flowered form of our native wild corn cockle, Agrostemma githago 'Ocean Pearl'. Speckled towards the centre of the flower, the corn cockle leans into Ammi majus, like a more elegant hedgerow cow parsley. White spotted foxgloves blend in beautifully.
These annuals were grown for the exhibit by Sadie's mother and while timing the plants to be at their best for the show is quite an art, in the garden they are easy to raise from seed sown direct in the soil in spring. Some gardeners mix their seeds to achieve this effect.
