Description
Pink Silene Pendula Catchfly, also known as trailing catchfly, is a lovely cool-season annual famous for cascading stems decorated with soft pink drooping star-shaped blossoms. Delicate pendulous blooms cluster along flexible branching stems, forming romantic trailing sprays that distinguish it from upright catchfly varieties. Sticky green foliage gives this flower its common name, developing into loose mounded clumps. It flourishes under mild spring temperatures, blooming heavily from late spring into early summer. Continuous high summer heat will reduce flowering, making it an excellent choice to add gentle pastel color to gardens before hot weather arrives.
Pink Silene Pendula Catchfly performs wonderfully as front border edging, rock garden filler, hanging basket spiller and patio container accent. Its trailing habit allows blooms to spill over planter rims and stone crevices, pairing beautifully with bellis daisies, lobelia and other cool-season flowers. Nectar-rich blossoms attract native bees and small butterflies. Regular deadheading of faded flowers extends bloom time, offering weeks of elegant soft-pink trailing beauty with simple care suitable for gardeners of every skill level.
