Silene × robotii ‘Rollies Favorite’


Rollies Favourite Campion

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.492.300


This interesting Campion hybrid is a recent introduction from Europe. It is a long-blooming plant, forming a low mound of dark-green, oval leaves, with clusters of starry, rich-pink blossoms, each with a white eye. Flower heads resemble Summer Phlox. Very floriferous with a wonderful trailing habit. A good choice for near the front of a sunny border, in rock gardens and in containers. Cut back by half after the first flush of flowers wanes in June, to encourage repeat blooming. Attractive to butterflies. A cross between Silene and Lychnis, bred by Herbert Oudshoorn of the Netherlands. USPP#17392, CPBRAF: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
