Silene caroliniana

wild pink

Wild campeon is a short, long-blooming, clump-forming perennial that flowers in the late spring, and continues blooming here and there through midsummer. It can be found wild in woodlands, clearings, and roadsides, and thrives in dry, rocky sites. Provided enough light, this plant is an excellent choice for a rock garden.
