Description
The Lychnis alpina 'Rosea', also known as Alpine Campion or Swedish Catchfly is an easy perennial plant, forming a tuft of dark green linear leaves, 20 cm (8in) wide. In spring, it produces tightly packed clusters of bright pink flowers with fringed petals on slender stems. It is a perfect plant for rockeries, troughs, walls or paving, only requiring light and a fresh, non-limestone and well-drained soil to thrive.
Lychnis alpina belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. This plant originates from high mountains as well as subarctic regions in the northern hemisphere, where it grows on cliffs and rocky areas. This hardy perennial forms a deciduous tuft, composed of basal rosettes of linear leaves, arranged in pairs of 2-3 on the stem, in a dark green color, forming a 20 cm (8in) wide cushion. Numerous flower stalks emerge from this tuft, forming globular inflorescences of 10 to 20 flowers, reaching a height of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6in). The flowering occurs in spring, in April-May-June. It is remarkably cheerful and vibrant.
Lychnis alpina Rosea is a variety derived from Lychnis alpina with vivid pink flowering. It is an excellent small perennial plant, easy to grow in light, non-limestone soil, alongside alpine rock plants. It has various uses, in borders, rockeries, dry stone walls or troughs. Combine it with white rock cress, purple or violet aubrietas, Yoyo Snow-in-Summer, bellflowers.

Planting and care
Lychnis alpina Rosea thrives in sunny or partially shaded exposure, in a well-drained, moist to dry, rich soil, preferably non-calcareous. In regions with clayey, heavy and moist soil, only the scree garden, the slope of a talus and the rockery can accommodate them without risks. In a rocky or sandy soil, it is not uncommon for most lychnis to self-sow spontaneously. Easy to grow in any sandy or rocky soil, but preferably low in limestone and very well-drained. In regions with dry and hot summers, it is advisable to plant it in non-burning areas of the garden, ensuring that the soil does not dry out too much, even though this plant tolerates drought.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
