Comments:
The so-called cock's comb. Flowers are good subjects for drying for arrangements. Many striking colors and sizes. Select a sunny site with well drained soil, preferably a raised bed for best performance. Among the easiest of the annuals to grow at a relatively low cost for large mass plantings. Few pests and requires relatively little maintenance.
