| Item #3265 Catchfly
Silene armeria (Caryophyllaceae) An attractive annual or tender perennial native to Europe, but has
naturalized throughout the United States. The generous rosepink flowers are arranged in
compact clusters radiating from a slender stem. Thrives in full sun or partial shade in
various soil types. Makes a breathtaking display when planted in mass.
Miscellaneous: The stem exudes a sticky sap that captures small insects that try to steal
nectar without pollinating the flowers. Hence, the common name Catchfly.
