Hi

Just been browsing the Thompson&Morgan seed catalogue, looking for
lychnis coronaria which I love and would like to try growing in my
garden but their seed list also includes lychnis chalcedonia which
sounds almost identical - anyone know what the difference is and which
would be easier to grow?

L. coronaria has single pink blooms on the end of each stalk but L. chalcedonica
has bright scarlet blooms in dense flattened heads 3 - 5 inches across.
