Rose Campion - Lychnis, just starting to bloom in front of sage bed.
Rose Campion - Lychnis coronaria
Rose campion is unforgettable in full bloom because of its abundant hot-pink flowers. But before it puts on its floral show -- and after the flowers fade -- its silvery-gray leaves are ornamental on their own.
Note: Rose campion can self-seed abundantly; some gardeners find it a bit of a pest once it's established.
Name: Lychnis coronaria
Growing Conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil
Plant Size: To 32 inches tall and 18 inches wide
