Hi Isabelle,
interesting, I can not keep lychnis chalcedonica (Maltese cross)
alive for more than a year but the L. coronaira reseeds happily
everywhere. Looks ok in the lawn too!.
I saw L. coronaira Angels Blush a few years back - I wonder if it is
a reseeder too. Never bought it - too many other interesting things
there that day and I haven't see it again.
