The Plant store is now closed for orders.

  • I'm planning on one last round of sales toward the end of September of plants that I'll be potting up from a nursery bed I planted in the fall of 2022. I'll post the details and the time once I have the plants ready to go

Silene virginica

Fire Pink

  • Dappled shade or planted among taller species in a full sun setting
  • Average to dry soils
  • 24” tall

New to me this year, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/silene-virginica-fire-pink-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

A brightly coloured flower for dry savannahs or woodland margins. Attractive to hummingbirds. Can be short lived but will self seed if happy with their location 

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
