      Very pretty @shiney, I tend to like paler colours so prefer yours to my magenta coloured. My Lychnis is looking good this year in comparison to some years as we have had it hot and dry......well it was until him upstairs turned the tap on at full blast and has forgotten to turn the damn thing off:mute:. I wonder if the paler coloured would be even more susceptible to winter wet?

        Love it when the bloom is larger than the plant itself.

          T'isn't here and Aquitaine isn't renowned for being dry in the winter:biggrin: Lychnis 'Angel's Blush' is just as reliable (invasive?) as the magenta version.....
