Lychnis coronaria 'Atrosanguinea' is a much-loved cottage garden classic, prized for its striking deep crimson-magenta flowers set against soft, silvery-grey woolly foliage. This short-lived but freely self-seeding perennial brings a bold splash of colour to borders, gravel gardens and dry planting schemes throughout the summer months. The felted silver leaves provide year-round texture and contrast beautifully with the richly coloured blooms.

Rose Campion is remarkably easy to grow, thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating poor, dry conditions where many other perennials struggle. Its upright, branching habit creates a graceful, informal display that is perfectly at home in wildlife-friendly and cottage-style plantings. The nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
