This selection of our great native rock garden Silene caroliniana makes a small clump of narrow green foliage topped from April through early summer with clusters of deep pink flowers held above the foliage. We have had the best luck with this species in our well-drained rock garden where it gets bright sun, plenty of air movement, and good drainage.
