Nothing says perfection quite like a pure white flower. We are big fans of the common Rose Campion with its blooms of deep rose pink but are equeally fond of this more rare white selection. We aren't alone as certain garden designers love this form as well. The 1-2" round blooms pair wonderfully with its soft velvety leaves of silver. Plants only live a few years in the garden so allow a few seeds to develop. White Rose Campion makes a wonderful cottage garden plant, its easy to grow and combines will with just about anything.
