How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally, this variety has no issues with pests or diseases. Aphids can be attracted to Silene, in which case pick them off and then spray the infested area down with soapy water.MORE

Water lightly

Water to keep the ground consistently moist during the plant's first year as it is establishing itself. This can require watering several times a week during hot and dry periods. Once the plant has established itself it will be far more drought tolerant.

Full Sun to Partial Shade

This variety will grow in areas of moderate sunlight, including around 4-6 hours of dappled sunlight in partial shade but also grows in full sun.

Any moist well-drained soil

Prefers a neutral to slightly alkaline soil.

Feed lightly

Apply a slow release general purpose fertiliser in the Spring ?v=1613300718
