Lychnis chalcedonica - Jerusalem or Maltese Cross

Bright and eye-catching, Lychnis chalcedonica produces clusters of vivid scarlet-red flowers from early to mid-summer. Held on slender stems, these star-shaped blooms combine to create stunning, domed heads up to 12cm in width. Perfect for mixed borders, wildlife planting and cut flower gardens.

Ideal for sunny spots with well-drained soil, this hardy perennial is easy to grow and rewarding. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and cut back after blooming to keep plants neat, dividing clumps every few years to maintain vigour. Ideal for cottage, wildlife, and prairie-style gardens, this Lychnis pairs beautifully with Phlox plants and Dianthus. A striking way to elevate your outdoor space with lasting impact.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
