Thank you Andrew. This is what happens when you get seeds, you forget the name by the time they flower.

Told it is now Silene chalcedonica for some reason.

Hi, I've always known this as Lychnis chalcedonica, and it is still listed as such by the r h s, Lychnis coeli-rosa, has been reclassified as Silene coeli-rosa, so not sure this has been reclassified, time will tell, Derek.

Listed in the Plant List as Silene chalecdonica, Derek.

Thank you everyone. I decided to stick with Lychnis chalcedonica. It is so annoying when they reclassify plants. It takes me so long to remember a plant name without having to remember a new one.
