Wildflower Red Campion (Silene dioica)

Absolutely love it..one of the most beautiful plants on earth in my book! :)

Do you think Karen! It's gone crazy here, I don't mind it in the woodland although it is massing but it's through the borders too, I've never known such a prolific seeder. I've bought a nice white cultivated one - Silene fimbriata, which reminds me, I can't remember where I planted it lol

I have a cultivated one in the raised bed, and its quite short and compact. But I have the wild ones in wildflower strip. Seeing them in the verges and hedgerows is one of the highlights of my late spring! They flower right after the dandelions.

I love them too, and am glad to have both wild and cultivated :)

They are very romantic
