There are about 20 species of perennials and biennials in the genus Lychnis. This group in the pink family (Caryophyllaceae) is closely related to – and is sometimes included in – the genus Silene. The genus Lychnis, from the northern temperate zone, is quite variable, but all species have vividly colored flowers. The genus name, used by Theophrastus from the Greek word lychnos which means “lamp”, is thought to refer to the use of the woolly leaves as lamp wicks in ancient times. The common name of rose campion supposedly comes from the use of its flowers to make garlands for athletic champions. The greenish-grey stems and leaves are densely covered with silver-grey hairs, giving a fuzzy appearance. A profusion of flowers up to 1” across are produced in summer. The simple 5-petaled flowers occur in small heads (terminal cymes) held well clear of the foliage. It prefers fairly dry, well-drained conditions in full sun or partial shade but will tolerate clay and moist soil. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous flowering or cut back flowering to promote a second round of flowers later in the season. Removing the dead or dying flowers may also help overwintering.
