Silene alpestris Meadow Moss Campion Very endearing plant in the landscape. Kelly green foliage is soft and soothing in and around shrubs. Late spring is when the show begins with 3-4" double white flowers that rise over the pretty green foliage and move ever so nice as the wind blows. This plant needs excellent drainage to be content. Shear back blooms to keep tidy.

Tips from Fran
Silene alpestris is such a neat plant for a meadow area or larger space. It is magnificent in bloom and if the wind catches it, it will delight you with a prettiest wave of white. Very relaxing to look at.
