This white form of Rose Campion comes reliably true from seed and makes an attractive accent in any garden.

This biennial reseeds itself reliably, and may survive as a short-lived perennial. Height 32 inches; spread 18 inches.
Cultivation:
Sow seed in situ in spring, or start in containers in a coldframe. Grow in any good garden soil with reasonable drainage. For maximum freshness, please keep seed refrigerated in its original packaging until it is time to plant.
