Silene uniflora 'Compacta'

Whitethroat Catchfly is an adorable plant for the border or rock garden. Pinky white flowers with light pink balloon-inflated calyxes are the perfect complement to the low, blue-green grassy cushion of foliage. Easy to grow in the border, but permeable, limey soil is essential.
