Brighten up your rockery with the vivid pink blooms of Silene caroliniana 'Hot Pink'! Known as Sticky Catchfly or Wild Pink in its native home of North America, where this low, clump-forming perennial thrives on the well-drained soils of rocky outcrops. The nectar rich flowers are borne in profusion in late spring and early summer, offering a feast for pollinating insects.
The tall spires of the Red Hot Poker are equally at home in the cottage garden, exotic garden, or wildlife garden. Above dense clumps of evergreen foliage, the scarlet-orange and yellow blooms of Kniphofia 'Fire Dance' are an old favourite of the mixed border, still just as popular today. Loved by bees and butterflies, the Torch Lily is also rabbit proof, making it a useful choice in rural gardens. Height: 50cm (20) Spread: 60cm (24).
