Title: seed offered: rose campion (Lychnis coronaria)
Post by: norfolklass on August 13, 2007, 15:55:37
I'll be gathering lots of these soon, so if anyone would like some please shout ;D
it's a lovely plant that grows anywhere in the poorest driest soil: bright pink flowers and fluffy leaves

Norfolklass,

I had lots of plants I grew from seed last year from a mixed pack and had no idea what they were. Thanks for the pic, as they are now identified.

I have white ones too.

cj :)

I'd love a small pinch please.  I lost mine a couple of years back.

hi DP
I cut about 15 or so of the ripest heads last night and got about a couple of thimble fulls of seed (they look exactly like poppy seeds), so when the rest of the heads are ready I'll have thousands!
PM me your address and I'll put you on the list :)

the bank holiday sunshine worked its magic, so seed will be posted out today to all those who asked.
plenty more left if anyone else wants some!
