Stunning Foliage Rivals Its Flowers
The deep magenta flowers of Rose Campion provide excellent color contrast with its stunning silver-woolly leaves. The flowers of Lychnis open one at a time on branched silver stems, but they do so over a long blooming period in summer. This is an time-honored flower which will add a bright spot to the perennial border or rock garden.
