Rose Campion - Lychnis Coronaria, Propagation tips using seeds and through division of the Rosette. 

Thanks for following and your for your lovely comment.

You are welcome! Thank you for your lovely comment.

The Rose campion is one of my favourite plants. I think its about having the fushia against the grey that makes it so dramatic. It seeds so quickly so good luck, spread them around for colour.

They no longer sell them in garden centers.

I too am so excited when one appreciates the Rose Campion. Happy gardening!

Wonderful! Enjoy the plant and make sure you collect the seeds.

Hi thanks for sharing. Along a wall must really be dramatic..beautiful. Good luck with your seedlings and I am sure it will all work out, they are pretty sturdy.

Hi Paulette, Thank you for your lovely comment.

Yes the foliage, hairy stem and leaves does look like Lamb's Ear. I am glad you found the episode helpful.

Thank you so much.

That's wonderful, once I discovered the plant, i was so grateful.

I am glad it was useful. I love the Rose Campion, happy gardening.

Hi Linda, Great and don't forget to collect their seeds once the flowers go into seed production.

Great Abigail, thanks also for your support.

Wow great news, happy gardening.

@@redsoilgardener Thank you! Will keep watching!

Hi, do try again. This time scatter the seeds in a propagation tray. Ensure it that the potting soil is moist. The seeds will come up very quickly.

Thanks Bertha, by the way I totally love the Rose Campion. The colour is so dramatic.

Hi Ginger, when you do get it, once it goes into seed production collect the seeds. They propagate very quickly.

Thanks for your help!

The Rose Campion will flower through summer. What you need to do to get it produce more blooms is: 1. Once the flower is spent, follow that stem down to where the two new baby flower are emerging. You will need to cut that stem just above the new babies. 2. Do not prune the whole plant , just go individually and deadhead the spent flower. Dry the seed pod and collect the seeds. 3. If there are dried stalks you can remove those. Once the flowering season is over you can then remove the dead stalks at base.

Hi, because the flowers are so delicate have you tried mixing with the Yarrow. See if it works.

What I normally do is sprinkle the seeds in a seed tray. The seeds are tiny, so planting them individually will waste of space. They germinate very quickly. Good Luck and happy gardening.

@redsoilgardener how long do you leave it before separating them out, and when separating them, is it worth putting 3 or 4 into one pot?

Hi they germinate very quickly. I usually take a seed tray and sprinkle the seeds. I leave the seedlings in the tray until they are ready to move into a small plastic pot and gradually into a bigger pot. Once the leaves look sturdy enough you can then slowly introduce it into your garden. However, you could toss them in the soil and keep an eye on them. Some of the ones i had, did self seed and they popped up around the mother plant. So either method works.

​@@redsoilgardener I got a whole bunch from a neighbor, and she she also gave me seeds. I made the mistake of leaving the rosettes in rain, and I think some perished from too much water. But some still look good, and I have the seeds. They don't do so well in bright shade/dappled sun, eh? The front of the house faces SW, the back NE and I was hoping to try back there. Maybe the seeds. Thank you so much.
