Lychnis ‘Lipstick’


Maltese Cross

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.335.430


Long popular in Cottage gardens, this is a rugged and easy perennial for any sunny border. Plants form an upright clump of dark bronze foliage with taller stems in summer that bear large clusters of brilliant, red-orange flowers. Attractive seed pods provide fall interest. Excellent for cutting. In rich soils this may need to be staked to prevent flopping. Reliable and long lived. Clumps may be easily divided in spring or fall. Flowers are attractive to butterflies, and possibly even hummingbirds.
