A delicate small wild flower to add to your borders mix. Queen Annes Thimble makes  haze of sky-blue to accent whites and pinks in the summer border. Whist you are not likely to find them at the florist the thin wiry stems make a beautiful misty  accent to arrangements for the house.

Sow in late winter or after frost in cold areas.
