Some species of Lychnis are among the best known of old-fashioned flowers, including Mullein Pink, Maltese Cross and Ragged Robin. They are flower-garden subjects and generally easy to grow. Others, as L. alpine, are better known as border or rockwork plants. All are easily grown from seeds, the biennials and perennials blooming the second year. The perennials can often also be propagated by division. All of them thrive in full the sun, and most like very good drainage in the fall and winter.

'Arkwright's Campion' (ark-RIGHT-ee-eye)

Here is a plant with a flower color you either love or hate, the color is a very bright masculine vermilion with dark shaded foliage. Plants grow 8-15 inches tall. The flowers are large and look like a giant version of one of it parents L. chalcedonica except that the flowers are not located in a large rounded heads, but are clustered in small groups along the leaf axis next to the stems. The foliage is a dark bronzy-maroon to purplish in spring, becoming bronze-green in summer. The plants have purple tinted stems that contrast attractively with the vivid flower color. Plants bloom in late June and July. Use in full sun in the North and some shade in the South. They like a well draining, moisture retentive soil.

Zones 3-8. In zones three and four they should be mulched over the winter, because the roots are not fully hardy and can die during very cold weather, which does not kill the plant-they just form very thick multi-stemmed plants that then need to be divided in early spring, otherwise they produce small over crowded clumps with few flowers on stems only 6 inches tall. They work well in the same locations as L. x haageana. If you love bright red flowers, this is one to try: if red is too strong for you, then stay away from this one.

'Haage Campion' (hah-GEE-ah-na)

This Hybrid has large orange to red colored, Maltese cross shaped - flowers on shorter growing plants that reach a height of 10-15 inches tall. Very showy in the front of the border were they will bloom best in full sun in well draining but moisture retentive soils. Blooms in Late June and July. I like them along a fence or mixed in amongst Catmints and Sedum's. After flowering plants can be cut down or you can leave the seeds heads on till they dry and use them as dried cut flowers in a small dried flower arrangement. Plants tend to go dormant in late summer and will return next spring. they are noticeable from a good distance and are hardy in Zones 3-8.(The roots are not so hardy in the north (Zones 3-4) - so plants grow in to thick short clumps after 2 or 3 years and should be divided if you want taller plants)
