Campion is a short-lived perennial native to southeastern Europe. It is grown for its old-fashioned, small, flat, white, rose or red flowers. The flowers appear in late spring or summer on tall branching stems above basal clumps of downy, silver-gray leaves.
Grow campion in full sun to light shade in average, well-drained soil. The leaves — which are most silvery in dry soil and full sun — contrast effectively with darker-leaved plants. Completely remove spent flowering stems to encourage repeat bloom and to keep the plant looking neat.
Plant campion in groups in the mixed border or cottage garden. It self-sows abundantly.
