Silene coronaria Gardeners' World ('Blych') (d)'

Double magenta flowers appear on tall branched stems during summer. 'Gardeners World' flowers for far longer than the straight Silene coronaria, it is sterile and therefore does not set seed, this maybe seen as an advantage by some. At the base of this clump-forming perennial is simple hirsute silver-grey, semi-evergreen foliage.

 'Gardeners World' was discovered by Geoff Hamilton whilst filming for Gardeners World. It thrives within full sun and well-drained soils. These silver leaved Silene  are superbly adapted to survive short periods of drought and will add a big burst of colour to your flower borders. Keep deadheading to prolong flowering.
