Viscaria

Viscaria - V. oculata, a showy and beautiful hardy annual from South Europe, is well suited for a border. Seed should be sown in spring or autumn, and the seedlings thinned out when large enough. The plant is 6 or 8 inches high, and bears a profusion of rose-colored blossoms with a dark centre. The varieties cardinalis (bright crimson-purple), coerulea (bluish), alba (white), Dunnetti (rose), splendens (scarlet), picta elegans (crimson-purple, edged with white), and a dwarf variety, nana, about 9 inches high, are desirable.
