Lychnis viscaria ‘Splendens Plena’ PASSION™
An easy to grow perennial that puts on a a spectacular show of large, vivid magenta double flowers during the warmer months. The low clumping, ornamental foliage makes it a great plant for edging paths and courtyards, and for understory planting.
- Easy to grow with vivid flower display
- Idea for edging and containers
- Great in full sun locations
- Frost hardy
Can be grown in groups or individually for general garden use. Ideal for edging garden borders, pathways or paved areas. Can be grown in decorative containers for mobile colour. Flowers can be used in fresh floral arrangements or dried for floral crafts and pot pourri. Foliage is also attractive for year round interest.
Prefers a full sun location in most soil types given good drainage. Low watering requirements withstanding some dryness but should be watered regularly during extended periods of heat.
No pruning required although trimming off spent flower stems will encourage a lengthier display. An application of a slow release fertiliser after flowering would be beneficial to overall performance.
