Rose Campion - Occulata (3.5" pot)
Perennial. Low maintenance and long-blooming, this uncommon perennial is an ideal choice for poor, dry soils. A profusion of 1” white flowers with delightful pink eyes float above fuzzy, silver-gray foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and curious onlookers. In the garden, combine with annuals and perennials in pink, purple or blue shades, or contrast with bright yellow flowers. The best effect is seen when grouped in a mass planting. A border or landscape will naturally fill in when plants are allowed to self-seed; Don’t mulch around the base and leave the ground undisturbed in fall to see volunteers pop up in the spring. As a perennial, expect sparse first year blooms, and an explosion of colour in the second. Plants are drought tolerant, and prefer fairly dry, well-draining soil. However, they will also tolerate clay soil, alkalinity, and moist conditions.
Location: Sunny border, Landscape planting, Rock garden, Cottage garden
Bloom Period: June to July
Height: 2.5’
Plant Spacing: 12-15'“
