Corncockle Overview
Agrostemma is a small genus containing just 2 annual species, commonly called Corncockles. These plants range from southeastern Europe to western Asia. Corncockles produce oppositely arranged leaves and solitary flowers with 5 petals. The flowers are trumpet-shaped and usually pink, red or white, with discrete striped markings on the inner petals. All parts of these plants are toxic and they are considered weeds in many locations.
