Silene uniflora Swan Lake


Rock Campion

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.492.080


(='Robin Whitebreast') Also known as Catchfly, this is a dwarf cousin to the Carnation. Plants form a low, trailing mound of grey-green fleshy leaves. Fully-double white flowers appear in summer, so full of petals they look like a ballerina's tutu. Shows to perfection when hanging over a rock wall, or spilling out of a tub. Remove faded flowers regularly, since they have a messy appearance; this will also help to encourage more buds to form. Clumps may be easily divided in spring or early fall. Drought tolerant. Evergreen.
