Agrostemma Coronaria
|
Agrostemma Coronaria known
also as Rose Cockle, or Campion. The single Rose Campion has been long
an inhabitant of the English gardens, where, by its seeds having
scattered,
it is become a kind of weed. There are three varieties of this plant,
one
with deep red, another with flesh-coloured, and a third with white
flowers,
but these are of small esteem.
The single Rose Champion grows spontaneously
in Italy and Siberia and the blossom is naturally white, with red in
the
middle.
The
double Rose Campion being
a finer flower, has turned the others out of most fine gardens. The
single
sorts propagate fast enough by the seeds, the sort with double flowers
never produces any, so is only propagated by parting of the roots. The
best time for this is in autumn, after their flowers are past; in doing
of this, every head which can be slipped off with roots should be
parted
and should be planted in a border of fresh undunged earth, at the
distance
of six inches.
You should observe and water them often gently until they
have taken root, after which they will require not much watering,
because
much wet may be injurious to them. After the heads are well rooted,
they
should be planted into the borders of the Flower-Garden, where they
will
be very ornamental during the times of their flowering, which is in
July
and August.
