I can\u2019t remember when I first discovered the rose campion\u2026I know I was very young. It has naturalized around certain neighborhoods and one popped up in our yard here in North Seattle early on. It had the typical bright magenta flowers. I let it grow and go to seed and we\u2019ve had those plants ever since. My absolute favorites, though, are the lighter flowered clones, including the white version and \u201cAngel\u2019s Blush.\u201d I grew Angel\u2019s Blush for the memory garden in 2017 and planted them out in 2018 and experienced an amazing show of subtle white\/pink flowers and grey foliage last June. Many of the plants bloomed themselves to death, but there are a few remaining plants this year that are blooming now and likely there will be seedlings at some point that should come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
