Product Description
Bouquet Flower
Lychnis flowers grow atop sturdy stems, and their clustered appearance makes them useful as a filler in bouquets!
Lychnis (Lychnis Arkwrightii Vesuvius)
This attractive plant from Lychnis seeds has gorgeous orange-red blooms and purple colored foliage. The combination is striking! This flowering Lychnis plant commands attention when it is in bloom during the summer months, and hummingbirds cannot stay away from the brightly colored flowers! Commonly, this perennial is called Arkwright's Campion.
This Arkwright's Campion plant grows 16 - 20 inches tall, with erect stems and is hardy in zones 3 - 10 in normal environmental conditions. Arkwright's Campion flowers are a brilliant orange-scarlet color, like molten lava flowing from the volcano, Mt. Vesuvius (hence the latin name), and they are simple in form with 5 deeply notched petals measuring 1 1/4 - 2 inches across. Care includes watering deeply throughout the growing season, mulching around the base to keep the roots cool, and deadheading spent blooms to prolong the blooming season.
Persistent Perennial
How to Grow
Start Lychnis seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is expected. Use well-draining starter soil. Surface sow the seeds and lightly cover. Keep seed continuously moist until germination. Some gardeners will cover with plastic wrap to keep humidity high.
Under proper conditions, germination will occur in 2-3 weeks. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and seedlings are 2 inches tall.
Let blooms go to seed so that Lychnis can re-seed itself. If re-seeding is not desired, cut the stems down after blooming.
