About this plant
A low key but intriguing plant that is generally grown as an annual. It has rather spindly stems with uplifted slender leaves and stout upward thrusting flower stalks. The flower heads are packed with closely clustered little flowers having a papery, slightly artificial air. They have a tiny corolla at the centre and the very noticeable calyx which comes in a range of colours, white, purple, blue and pink. In flowers from mid to late summer, and there is no point in deadheading as fresh flowers don't come. There are many cultivars. Give it sunshine and any well drained soil. It stands around 70cm (2ft 6in) in height with a 30cm (12in) spread.

Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
