Description
White Silene Pendula Catchfly, also known as trailing catchfly, is an elegant cool-season annual admired for cascading stems covered with pure white drooping star-shaped blossoms. Delicate pendulous flowers cluster along flexible branching stems, forming graceful trailing sprays that stand apart from upright catchfly varieties. Sticky green foliage lends this flower its common name, developing into loose mounded clumps. It thrives in mild spring conditions, blooming abundantly from late spring into early summer. Sustained intense summer heat will suppress flowering, making it an ideal selection to bring luminous neutral tone to gardens before hot weather arrives.
White Silene Pendula Catchfly works beautifully as front border edging, rock garden filler, hanging basket spiller and patio container accent. Its trailing growth habit allows blooms to spill over pot edges and rock crevices, matching perfectly with bellis daisies, lobelia and other cool-season blooms. Nectar-rich blossoms attract native bees and small butterflies. Regular deadheading of faded blooms extends the flowering period, delivering weeks of refined white trailing beauty with basic maintenance suitable for gardeners of all skill levels.
