Silene robotii 'Rollies Favorite'®

A compact, semi-evergreen Silene forming a neat mound of dark green, slightly hairy foliage, topped with abundant pink blooms from late spring through summer. Best in full sun or light shade in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, it suits mixed borders and cottage-style plantings, with an eventual height and spread around 50cm. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
