Lychnis coronaria, commonly known as Rose Campion or Dusty Miller, is a graceful and drought-tolerant perennial that adds charm and beauty to any garden. This species features soft, silvery-gray foliage and clusters of vibrant magenta or white flowers, creating an enchanting display. The velvety leaves add texture and interest even when the plant is not in bloom. 'Lychnis coronaria' blooms in late spring to early summer, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. With its upright growth habit and self-seeding nature, it is suitable for cottage gardens, borders, or as a cut flower. Its ability to tolerate dry conditions and its resilience in various soil types make it a versatile and beloved choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance and visually appealing plant.
