Silene uniflora 'Robin Whitebreast'

Overview

Campion (Silene uniflora 'Robin Whitebreast') is an annual, hemicryptophytic flowering plant with soft, hairy leaves and bright white flowers. It is found natively in the Balkan region, where it grows in sunny, warm areas. Campion is a relatively easy-to-grow species that does not require much maintenance. It flowers from late May to early July and its blooms are produced abundantly. The white flowers have darker stripes which give the plant its distinctive name 'Robin Whitebreast' - allowing it to mimic its avian namesake. Campion is an ideal choice for rock gardens and containers due to its small habit and vibrant, eye-catching blooms.
