Silene armeria 'Rubra Electra'
- Product number: 553750
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Silene armeria
A very rare native plant in the Netherlands, yet so easy to grow! The carnation-pink flowers sit on elongated calyxes, as if stretching out! The stem secretes a sticky sap just above the leaf attachment, which catches small insects; I'd love to hear from someone about the purpose of this. An ideal and easy-to-grow plant, anyone can do it…! The quantity of seeds is enough for a new biotope in your garden.
