Cultivation:

flowers helps to promote new flower growth throughout the season.
Blood Red Rose Campion flowers are excellent for
cutting.

Seed can be started in a cold frame or greenhouse in early spring
and moved outdoors after danger of frost has passed. For a much quicker
showing of flowers purchase pre-started Rose Campion plants at your local Garden
Center. Once established the plants may be dug and divided in spring.
