Silene
vulgaris maritima * Catchfly |
| With a
little water and some sun this is a real show. The inflated calyx and white bloom
work well with the soft gray foliage. The primary season is the spring but a
smattering of blooms are almost always there. It usually looks miserable in the
container. I have grown this in fairly dark situations and still gotten a great
bloom. It will take a fair amount of drought but prefers a regular drink.
Excessive overhead water can cause the stems to rot. It often regenerates
itself
from seed if conditions become to harsh. I have not had any damage due to cold
weather.
