Lychnis coronaria is bright, fresh, colourful, short-lived perennial or biennial border flower that grows into a dense clump.
It has narrow grey/green hairy leaves and produces open faced, white or pink, rounded flowers held aloft on branched stems in summer.
They are easy to grow and add a carefree air to any garden, going well in formal or informal garden settings from cottage to city courtyard.
Lychnis coronaria are often used in garlands and floral crowns.
