Bring a touch of old-fashioned charm to your garden with Rose Campion—a striking perennial (or biennial) known for its velvety silver foliage and vivid magenta, white, or pale pink blooms. This cottage garden favorite stands tall at 2-3 feet, producing delicate yet bold flowers from late spring to early summer. Rose Campion is not only drought-tolerant but also deer-resistant, making it an easy-care choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.

 

Growing Instructions:

• Sun Requirements: Full sun to partial shade

• Soil: Well-draining, average to sandy soil

• Planting:

• Direct sow in early spring or fall, lightly pressing seeds into the soil without covering them—light aids germination.

• For earlier blooms, start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost and transplant once seedlings are sturdy.

• Watering: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established

• Spacing: 12-18 inches apart

• Bloom Time: Late spring to mid-summer, with potential reblooming in cooler climates

• Maintenance: Deadhead to prolong blooming; allow some flowers to go to seed for self-sowing and naturalization.

 

Perfect for cottage gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows, Rose Campion adds texture, contrast, and a pop of color that returns year after year.
