An old-fashioned cottage favourite. Rose Campion has bright pink flowers, silvery stems and beautiful soft pale green-grey leaves.
A hardy (but short-lived) perennial it will produce leaves and a sparse amount of flowers in its first year but numerous flowers in its second year. Rose Campion needs a period of cold to stimulate germination so I find putting them into the fridge for 2 weeks before sowing helps with this.
- Seed Quantity: 200 Seeds
- Type: Perennial
- Genus: Lychnis coronaria
- Sow Seeds: Put the seeds in the fridge for 2 weeks before sowing. Sow under cover February-May or September-November or direct from April-July. Seeds will germinate in around 2 weeks. Barely cover the seeds as light is needed for germination. Keep at 18-20℃. Pot on and move to cooler but not cold conditions.
- Plant Out: May-June
- Flowers: Flowers will be sparse in the first year but numerous after.
- Height & Spread: 75cm high x 45cm spread
