I have a clump in my front garden that I'm pulling out this fall because it's so mediocre and is a pain in the butt to deadhead. I'm replacing it with dwarf coneflowers. They are pollinator magnets. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-89177033157968432832015-07-19T19:53:16.944-04:002015-07-19T19:53:16.944-04:00There are several varieties of silene.

It blooms like mad all summer. Mine gets fullish sun but a bit of very bright shade in late afternoon.
