Rose Campion Orange Gnome

Rose Campion Orange Gnome, Lychnis arkwrightii 'Orange Gnome', displays brilliant orange scarlet flowers measuring 1.5 across. The flowers are produced in abundance in early summer and last nearly eight weeks. The compact purplish bronze foliage of Lychnis 'Orange Gnome' creates a dazzling contrast to the bright flowers. Hummingbirds love the intense color! The foliage is nearly as pretty as the flowers, having a purplish bronze cast over the naturally dark green leaves. The contrast is dazzling! After flowering, the swollen seed pods provide additional interest to extend the season. Plant 'Orange Gnome' in well drained soil and you will avoid potential disease issues. Early in the season, pinch these plants back to encourage a more compact habit. Lychnis tends to be a short lived perennial, but it will self seed. Deer resistant.
