Lychnis chalcedonica (Maltese Cross)

Very attractive with its upright clump of lush bright green foliage topped by large, densely packed, round clusters of brilliant scarlet flowers, it enjoys a long season of interest, is easy to grow, trouble free, reliable, long-lived and adds bold splashes of color where needed.
