Lychnis:
A varied
family of flowering plants with 5-petaled, bright flowers and attractive
foliage. They flower for a long period through summer and tolerate drought
and poor soil. They all prefer sun.
All
can propagated by division or seed. Lychnis coronaria from saved seed will
eventually revert to pink.
