Silene caroliniana ssp. wherryi (Hot Pink, Celina) is native to North America where it is also known by its common name Wild Pinks or Catchfly. It has rich pink flowers, that look a bit like our own Wild Campion, the difference is the cushion habit of the foliage. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil in a light shade location. Our plants are supplied as 2cm dia plugs to plant on in a pot or plant directly in your garden. You can buy three, five or six with better value the more you buy. Dig a small hole, put the plug with the roots in the ground and press soil around, then water well.
