Common name catchfly Family caryophyllaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers pink (May) Size 2' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed self-seeds in our garden Seed ripens mid-June My dad was surprised to see this growing in our garden - in his Dutch garden, he considers it a weed. And I admit, it's not the most refined plant, and its reseeding habits may get to be a bit much (we've not had it long enough to tell), but it sure is pretty when it blooms.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: back yard island

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
