Lychnis 'Molten Lava'
'Molten Lava' is a dwarf lychnis that forms a low clump of bronzy leaves with short stems topped with clusters of large bright orangey-red flowers from early Summer to early Autumn
Propagation by seed
From Late Autumn TO Early Winter
The seeds need a chilling period before they will germinate, so plant them in the autumn for spring germination. If you live in an area that typically has warm periods in autumn and winter, plant the seeds in winter, several weeks before the last expected frost date. The seeds need light to germinate, so press them onto the surface of the soil without covering them.
Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Growing rose campions is a snap if you choose the right location. The plants prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade, where they produce fewer blossoms.
Flowering
From Late Summer TO Late Summer
