This native wildflower originates from agricultural fields. 
Its delicate pink flowers are made up of pale pink petals that have a yellowish tinge undeneath. The flowers open at night, releasing a scent that attracts nocturnal pollinators such as moths. 
 
These plants are well suited to rough, calcerous conditions such as chalky soil or sand. 
 
POLLINATORS: Attractive to night-flying insects such as moths.
 
WILDLIFE: Smaller insects such as gnats become trapped in the sticky hairs that cover this plant, and this attracts larger, predator insects such as ladybirds.
