Silene uniflora - Sea Campion

Silene uniflora - Sea Campion

This semi-evergreen, low-growing perennial forms a mat of smooth blue-green, waxy leaves that makes a good looking rock garden plant. The small white flowers form masses in early summer, attracting attention. This plant attracts lots of pollinating insects like bees and butterflies. Great for a border ground cover plant. Pest and disease free, low maintenance, and drought tolerant once established. Hardy to zone 3.
