How do you grow a Catchfly?
Catchfly plants are grown from seeds. Sow seeds early in the season, about 3 weeks before the last frost in your area. Cover seeds lightly with 1/4" of garden soil. They germinate easily and the plants will grow quickly.
How do you grow Silene Armeria?

How do you care for a Catchfly?
Garden Catchfly enjoys full sunlight to partial shade. In warmer climates, the partial shade becomes essential, as the plant does not flourish in extreme heat. Catchfly doesn't need a lot of water to survive and actually prefers slightly moist to dry well-draining sand or gravel-rich soil.
How do you care for a Silene plant?

How do you deadhead a rose campion?
As with purple toadflax, to get the best from this plant, you have to deadhead. And unfortunately, deadheading rose campion means snipping off each flower individually, using scissors or small clippers. Each plant produces dozens of flowers, so weekly deadheading sessions are needed.
How big does Silene grow?

As they are a large genus, the blooming time of Silene is species specific, ranging from Spring to early autumn. They usually carry masses of small flowers that may be red, pink or white.
How do you plant Silene seeds?
Sow into a coldframe in autumn or early spring. Sow directly after danger of frost has passed. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of soil.
How do you grow pink fire?
Grow in full sun or light shade in well-drained, rocky soil. Will grow in crevices on rocks. Plants may be short-lived but often self-sow. Because stems are brittle and leaves sticky, transplant and divide in March before stems sprout up.
