With such an enticing common name, I just had to try this plant, so I got seed from a wildflower enthusiast. As you can see in the photos, this is definitely more a wildflower than a gardenworthy plant, with its tiny white flowers on sparse upright plants with plain Jane leaves – but everything's worth trying at least once. I actually like the hairy seedpods better than the flowers!
