Silene 'Druett's Variegated'
Variegated Rock Campion
Silene can be annuals, biennials or herbaceous or evergreen perennials. The leaves are untoothed, and the flowers can be solitary or clustered, and have 5 petals, often notched. 'Druett's Variegated' is a cushion-forming evergreen perennial with small green and cream leaves, and in late Spring and Summer ballooned white flowers appear. It grows best in well-drained, gritty soil. Remove green shoots as they appear, or they will gradually take over, and the plant will lose it's variegation.
