Starry Campion

Silene stellata

Starry Campion is admired for its light and airy appearance, featuring loose clusters of distinctive, five-petaled white flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. The plant’s tall, slender stems rise from a base of lance-shaped, whorled leaves, creating an elegant vertical accent in the garden. Preferring partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soils, Starry Campion is perfect for understory plantings in woodland settings or as part of a shade garden where its blooms can brighten dim areas.
