Druett's Variegated Campion

Silene uniflora 'Druett's Variegated'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Caryophyllaceae
Plant Description: This perennial covers the ground with tiny, lance-shaped green variegated leaves. Small ballooned flowers bloom white in the summer. Great for rock gardens, rock walls and anywhere it can cascade or trail. It prefers good drainage and plenty of nutrients and moisture. However, it can handle some drought once established. Remove any solid-green shoots to maintain variegation, as this plant has a tendency to revert.

Maintenance:
