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. Right: Lychnis coronaria Atrosanguinea in our garden with Verbascum Chiaii Album, Echinops sphaerocephalon and Sidalcea Rosaly. 19 July 2005 |
