Silene dioica (Red Campion)
- Loved by Pollinators
- Self-sows
- Good for Cutting
One of my favourite wildflowers which is definitely garden worthy for introducing (as plugs) into your lawn, in dappled shade under shrubs, trees and in the base of hedges
I love it cut and arranged on its own, or in a jumble of wild flowers such as wild carrot, foxgloves and ragged robin. It flowers on and off for months.
