Lychnis flos-jovis nana 'Peggy'

'Peggy' looks quite similar to common Rose Campion, but she is more compact, tidier, and longer-lived. The low mound of velvety silver-green foliage is nicely complemented by rosy-pink flowers. A great candidate for rock gardens, border edges, window boxes or containers. Drought-tolerant once established.
