Lychnis chalcedonica

Maltese Cross, Jerusalem Cross

Zone 4 - 9

Old fashioned perennial still much loved for its very vivid scarlet-red flower clusters which appear in July and August. Derives its common name from its distinctly cross-shaped blooms which resemble a Maltese Cross. Can be grown in sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil. For best upright form grow this easy perennial in full sun and lean soil. A butterfly favourite. HEIGHT: 75-90 cm SPREAD: 40-50 cm
