Lychnis Alpina

A lovely addition to rockeries, alpine troughs and stone walls, Lychnis alpina is a charming compact perennial. Rounded clusters of rose-pink flowers are produced in spring above a clump of narrow greyish-green foliage. This hardy alpine catchfly tolerates poor sandy soils and though not particularly long-lived, will often self-seed to create an established colony. Height and spread: 15cm (6in).
