Lychnis chalcedonica ‘Carnea’ (Maltese Cross)

 

Caryophyllaceae

Hardy Perennial 

Sun - tolerates light shade

Ht. 80cm

1L recycled plastic pot

 

Lush basal rosettes of leaves give way to slender stems with clusters of star (or Maltese cross) shaped flowers in salmon.  Blooms across a long period from late spring to late summer.  Lovely en masse in prairie style plantings and cottage gardens. Prefers drier well drained soil in a sunny spot, though tolerates partial shade.  Attractive to bees and butterflies.
