Each blossom lasts just a day, but the plant produces them in abundance — vibrant, vivacious colour that persists for months from June to October. A perfect border filler and worthy winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, its plentiful blooms are also a popular destination for pollinating insects. It self‑seeds happily, so a little editing may be required if you prefer a tidier display.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrow in well‑drained soil in sun or semi‑shade; although plants can suffer root rot if exposed to prolonged wet conditions they will happily grow as a marginal bog plant in the short term. Deadhead regularly unless you want it to self‑seed. Cut back in autumn. Sow direct or on the surface of moist compost and lightly cover with compost or vermiculite. Germination takes 10–15 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eSow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to May, July to October\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eGermination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–15 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eFlowering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e June to October\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e to 80cm | \u003cstrong\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e to 40cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eLifecycle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short‑lived perennial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sun or semi‑shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eSowing method\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface sow; lightly cover; well‑drained soil essential\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGet the full Silene Growing Guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/collieflowers.com\/pages\/silene-coronaria\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Silene Coronaria Growing Guide\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collie Flowers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58425246089480,"sku":null,"price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5105\/6904\/files\/SileneCoronaria.jpg?v=1786543969","url":"https:\/\/collieflowers.com\/products\/silene-coronaria","provider":"Collie Flowers Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
