LYCHNIS SEEDS

The Lychnis genus, commonly known as Campion or Catchfly, is a striking member of the Caryophyllaceae family. These herbaceous perennials and biennials are renowned for their vivid, five-petaled flowers in bright shades of red, pink, and white, which bloom profusely from late spring through summer. Lychnis adds a splash of bold colour and texture to cottage gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows.

Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, Lychnis thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These hardy plants are drought-tolerant and require minimal care, making them ideal for low-maintenance and pollinator-friendly gardens. Popular species include Lychnis chalcedonica, or Maltese Cross, known for its bright scarlet flowers, and Lychnis coronaria, or Rose Campion, valued for its silver-grey foliage and magenta blooms.

The Lychnis genus combines vibrant beauty, resilience, and ecological benefits, making it a perfect choice for gardeners seeking easy-to-grow plants with lasting visual impact.
