Rose Campion, aka Silene Coronaria, is a perennial member of the Pink family, Caryophyllaceae. It originates in Eurasia, and is hardy down to zone 5. These plants are so hardy and easy to grow that they make a great addition to any baron area of land.

Growing Instructions
Rose Campion seeds may be started in pots in the spring, or directly sown into the ground. Most available seed starting soils should do the job nicely; we use sunshine mix (peat moss and perlite). The soil should be made moist, but not damp. Sow the seeds on the surface, or down to 1/4 inch deep. Store in a warm area until tiny sprouts emerge from the soil. Once germinated, and the first true leaf has formed, it's time to pot up to a larger container that contains a good quality potting soil. Transplant to their final location when the nighttime temperatures are consistently 6°C or higher. The plants don’t require very much attention once established other than a good mulching, and a bi-weekly watering.
