Rose Campion
Lychnis coronaria

Field Notes
Description:
Transplanted from my mother's garden in North Carolina where they grow wild in abundance. Also known as mullein pink, rose campion, gardener's delight and bloody William.
Notes:
Rose campion grows from 2 to 3 foot tall and the foliage is a greenish silver color and fuzzy like lamb's ears. It will do best in a moister, fertile but well-drained area though it is drought tolerant and will grow in drier soils. After the first set of blooms cut it back and you should get a second set. The plants reseed easily, so if you don't want extra do not let it set seed, or just allow a few to go to seed.
