rose campion

Rose campion (Lychnis coronaria 'Blych' GARDENERS' WORLD) needs to be watered regularly, but not too often. Water when the top 3 inches (cm) of soil is dry to the touch. Water deeply and evenly, saturating the root zone. During dry spells, it's best to water around twice a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Make sure to have adequate drainage in the container or potting soil, as these plants don’t like soggy conditions. Mulch can also be added to help conserve soil moisture.

Rose campion (Lychnis coronaria "Blych") should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight each day, with more sunshine being beneficial for growth. Ideally, Rose campion should receive full sun in the morning and partial sun--or filtered light--in the afternoon. Warmer climates can provide a full day of sun as long as it is not too intense or hot. It’s essential to ensure that Rose campion receives light evenly throughout the day for balanced and consistent growth.

Rose campion (Lychnis coronaria 'Blych' GARDENERS' WORLD) should be pruned once a year, in early spring, just before new growth begins. Cut back all stems to about 8 inches in height to keep the plant compact and encourage more flowering. Prune any undesirable shoots to maintain an attractive shape. Remove any dead or diseased foliage as soon as it is noticed. Finally, thin congested branches to allow more light and air into the plant.
