Lychnis (rose champion)

Hi Val and other's interested in rose champion

I grow Lychnis (rose champion) and stachys (lambs ear) and snow in the
summer
all are grown in full sun and watered sparingly.  I plant any
silver/gray/green plant on
 a little mound as I find most of these plants like good drainage and dry
foliage.

Rose champion I treat as a biannual because every few years the mother
plant dies away, usually  I find lots of self sown "babies" nearby.   I
find these plants do not transplant well  so when you move one to the
location you want,  maybe you should move a friend also in case one
doesn't make it.  I have found that most of these plants do not bloom the
first year.  

I live in the Ohio River Valley of southern Indiana and we also have high
humidity in the summer,  so I don't think that is your problem  --most
likely too much watering,or rain.
