Lychnis coronaria

Lychnis coronaria, commonly known as rose campion or mullein pink, is an eye-catching flowering plant that belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. Native to Europe and Western Asia, this herbaceous perennial is widely cultivated for its ornamental value. The plant forms a compact clump of silvery-grey foliage, creating an attractive contrast in gardens and landscapes. The leaves are lance-shaped and densely covered in soft, silver-gray hairs. Rising above the foliage, the plant produces tall stems that reach heights of around 60-90cm.
