Campion Rose

Marian title-Our Lady's Rose

Step back in time with this charmer. This flower adorns many borders found on illuminated manuscripts of Europe. The fuzzy ‘white’ leaves make this plant perfect for moon gardens.

Silene coronaria, commonly known as Campion Rose is a captivating perennial celebrated for its distinctive silvery-gray foliage that provides a soft, luminous backdrop to its brilliant magenta flowers. This biannualp excels in full sun and well-draining soils, thriving in conditions where many ornamentals struggle. Self-seeding freely, it naturalizes effortlessly in appropriate settings attracting bees and butterflies.

People have used their stems as wicks when in a pinch for candles.
