Grown In
Also known as Autumn Campion, this is a useful rock-garden plant for late season color, flowering at a time when most other alpines are long finished. It forms a low mound or tuft of bright green leaves, loaded with starry magenta-pink flowers from mid-summer into the fall. Prefers a sandy or gritty soil. Also nice for edging a well-drained border. Division may be attempted in early spring, but is not always successful. Self-sown seedlings may appear, but this does not become weedy. Drought tolerant once established. Received a Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit in 1993.
