I'm really on the hunt for an all white marigold. But any White showy annual will be fine. I'm putting together one of my showy garden ensembles...LOL I really need a fast, long flowering white.
CLOSED: Wanted: All white showy annual flower
What about white pansies? Also, paludosum daisies. Alyssum? Petunia? White Nicandra? Nicotiana? White Brachycomb, white lobelia, White snapdragons?
Who has white snapdragon???? LOL LOL
There is a cultivar named 'Royal Bride'. I ordered some, but they were pretty chinzy, so I'm thinking of ordering more. I'll look online.
Ohhh Weezy I found some...Ordered you a pack too :-D
Poppy 'White Cloud'?
~* Robin
Not sure if they are the Royal Bride...they say Tall - 3 feet (White) I'll send yours when they get here.
Kimmie, Argemone hunnemannii (Chilean Prickly Poppy) has showy white flowers (although pistils are yellow) and re-bloom the whole season IF you dead-head. The foliage is very interesting as well. Shall I send you seeds?
Hugs,
Ursula
Hi Ursula! Does it flower lots?
I had a really bad experience with Poppies and someone will have to tell me different to make me try again...LOL. I grew one last year...It only bloomed one flower at a time. Then it lasted a few hours...The petals blew away and a big Pod formed. I said I would never grow another..Was this just a bad experience?
Yes, it is said to bear an average of 8 flowers if you keep dead-heading, plant in full sun and do not over-water them.
Paeony Flowered Poppy 'White Cloud' (Papaver somniferum)

I don't know how well this will do, I've grown other Paeony Flowered Poppies before; but not this white one. I just got the seeds this winter.
~* Robin
Ursula, I would like to try them. Thanks so much for your kind offer. Do I have any seeds you may be interested in? LMK
Thanks, Kimmie, I do not need any more seeds. I will send you these, plus some other seeds for the lovely glassine baggies you sent me.
Kim,
Martha Stweart sells an all white cosmos called sensation white at KMART. I just bought a pack. It has about 40 seeds in it, I can send ya half if you would like them? LMK
Oh Thanks! But I have the Sonata White Cosmos
Kimmie, just cleaned my Nicotiana acuminata seeds that I will include in the mail for you. It's an annual, florwers are white and open during night, when they release a lovely fragrance until next day noon.
Thanks, Kim... I'll settle up with you by email. I just remembered some other nice white flowers... how about White Clip campanula or White Peachleaf Bellflower, also pure white foxglove.
Thanks Ursula :-D I love Nicotiana!
Weez...what does the Bellfower look like?
I don't have what you need but can you tell me if seeds can be sent to Canada. Thanks
Doris
Hi Doris! Yes just mail them as you would any other seeds $.60 for up to an ounce and $.85 for 2 ounces.
Thanks Kim

Ohhhh Ok...I'm waiting for them to flower. I have the white clips and persicifolia. They got full of foilage but didn't flower last season...Maybe this year?
The peachleaf bellflowers come in white and several shades of blue, form pale to dark. They put out copeous amounts of seed. The little carpathians turn into a mound of blooms and are quite showy, nice for the front of a bed or a rock garden or a container. They should both bloom for you in the second year.
