Title: not Wulfenia
Post by: Diane Whitehead on May 04, 2015, 05:26:04 PM

I have two of these pretty little plants.  The closest tags are Wulfenia and a couple of Dianthus species
so I'm at a loss for a name.

I think that little charmer is one of my favourite plants, Diane - Erinus alpinus.

Thank you, Maggi.

It was NARGS seed.  I never seem to get mis-identified seed from SRGC.

The lovely little Fairy Foxgloves will gently self-sow around your garden, Diane … one of my favourites, especially in the white and cerise forms.
