Lychnis chalcedonica 'Pinkie' watch for grass grub A lovey variegatedUpright clumps of green foliage crowned with dense clusters of soft pink, star like flowers. This palest pink form of the popular, normally deepest red, cottage garden plant can make an impressive statement, especially en mass, in the herbaceous border. Long lived and reliable! 60 75cm. While the image isn't of this unusual pink form, the image shows what the plant looks like in groups. Smashing.
