Lychnis Coronaria Seeds (200 seeds) (Silene coronaria, Rose campion, Mullein pink, Dusty Miller)

Description

Large flowers of deepest rose-crimson are carried on branching stems bearing attractive grey woolly leaves. This must-have plant for the classic cottage garden will gently self-seed into cracks and shady corners but rarely becomes a nuisance.

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
