SILENE PURPLE PRINCE Caryophyllaceae HP 24-30in

We have finally succeeded in producing a purple-leafed, fertile 'Red Campion' (Silene dioica). The leaves of this superb new Plant World discovery go darker the brighter the sun is, giving a perfect foil for the bright pink flowers.

Sowing advice: Z. SOW IN SPRING OUTSIDE DIRECT, OR AT ANYTIME IN POTS IN A PROPAGATOR OR WARM SPOT. GROW ON INDIVIDUAL SEEDLINGS IN 3" POTS. PLANT OUT IN A WELL-DRAINED OPEN POSITION. LEAVES DO NOT DARKEN UNTIL LATER.
