~ Silene regia, Royal Catchfly

~Sold out for 2023~

Silene regia

Royal Catchfly

Full sun to dappled shade
Average to slightly dry soils
48” tall
Summer blooming
Native to the mid west, their historical range does not extend into Ontario.

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

The intensely orangish-red flowers, which are known to attract hummingbirds, and easy adaptation to garden settings are the reasons that I’m growing this species, even though they aren’t historically native to this province.

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

The Online Plant Nursery will re-open for orders on Tuesday, May 17th

Pickups will begin the following week.

I will be offering plug sized plants for $1.25 each or 5 for $5.

I'm in the process of adding species that I expect to offer this spring to the listings since they are starting to germinate and I'm starting to get an idea of which will be available in abundant quantities.

Since the list is much longer this year I've added several categories to help narrow down your options based on a variety of criteria.

For those who have already adopted seedlings, planting instructions can be found here.
