Rose campion is a clump-forming, short-lived perennial grown as much for its basal clumps of ovate, densely woolly, silver-gray leaves (to 5" long) as for its 5-petaled, vivid rose magenta flowers (to 1" diameter).
Flowers bloom profusely from late spring to August on smaller-leafed, gray stems, and will self-seed freely if not deadheaded. Prefers moist soil, but will tolerate poor soils with some dryness.
