Lychnis coronaria is a superb plant for a sunny border. A short-lived perennial, it forms clumps of silver felty leaves, which make a pleasant backdrop to bright magenta flowers in late summer.
Lychnis coronaria 'Gardeners' World' flowers over a long period, bearing double magenta blooms. Unlike the species, it does not self seed. Grow in well-drained soil in full sun.
