Add Your Opinion About This Plant
Beautiful little plant. In my New England garden, it blooms at the end of May, beginning of June, along with the Siberian iris. The flowering stems grow up to 16" tall, above a rosette of small spikey leaves only 4" tall. The flowers have the effect of "floating" above the foliage, as there is a gap between the bottom of the flowers and the top of the foliage. They bloom at the same time as siberian iris and the pink of the Lychnis goes very well with the blue-purples of the siberian iris.
