Agrostemma
Coronaria – Rose Campion
Hardy Perennial
About 2 feet.
Flowers crimson, July.
A border plant of the Lychnis tribe, with grey
downy leaves and single flowers of a very fine
deep crimson.
Will grow almost anywhere, but well repays a good
site and soil.
May be increased by division of the roots, or
by sowing seed in April in the open if the conditions
are favourable.
In cold latitudes and heavy soils, and in places
where slugs are troublesome, it may, like other
perennials, be sown in boxes in a snug corner,
or under a frame.
